Cognitive Analytic Therapy and Later Life aims to counteract pessimism and stereotypes associated with later life and guide us into creative and original ways of viewing older age in the future.
Reviews and Endorsements
Experienced contributors illustrate how working with older people requires specialist skills and the need to share experience and theoretical developments in the 'hidden' developmental problems of later life. They include:
The delayed effects of early trauma.
The re-emergence of borderline traits and dissociative states.
The struggle to maintain narcissistic defences in later life.
The intricacies of severe depression and dementia.
The use of the Cognitive Analytic Therapy model offers a challenge to the child-centred paradigm of psychoanalytic theory, illustrating the value of recognition of the life-long development of the interpersonal.
Cognitive Analytic Therapy and Later Life is a fresh approach to working with older people. Clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurses, social workers and occupational therapists alike will find this an illuminating and thought provoking book.
