About this title

Synopsis

The First Session with Seniors is an essential resource for clinicians who work with the growing population of senior citizens. Filled with illustrative real-life case examples, the book offers practical clinical guidelines for diagnosing, obtaining background information, uncovering hidden issues, and collaborating on goals-all within the first (and often only) fifty-minute session. Author Forrest Scogin, an expert in geropsychology, addresses the myriad and complex issues common to older clients including chronic depAndency, medically-related substance abuse, and the problems of loss and grief.
