Special attention is given to assessment techniques that include intergenerational history and patterns, ethnicity, gender and cultural factors. Common life-cycle issues, such as retirement, are addressed, as are problems experienced by a significant number of elderly people, including long-term care problems, depression and suicidal thoughts. Implications of the therapeutic approach for policy and programme planning, and for the training of practitioners, are also examined.Neidhardt, Elizabeth R. is the author of 'Family Therapy with the Elderly' with ISBN 9780608097824 and ISBN 0608097829.
