Traditional training in counseling and psychotherapy makes minimal distinctions on the ages of the client and therapist in the treatment process. Therapy Over 50: Aging Issues in Psychotherapy and the Therapist's Life highlights how therapy is frequently a very different process for the older client and therapist. Specifically, this book explores: a) how therapists over 50 (or approaching that life transition) experience, struggle, and enjoy doing therapy in ways that are different from when they were younger (this includes their special challenges, adaptations, fears, and joys); and b) the landscape related to working clinically with aging clients, and those approaches and strategies that work best with this population. The text also includes both current research and classic literature on the subject of aging issues in therapy, as well as current excerpts from interviews the authors will conduct with some of the most notable aging figures in the fields of counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, and clinical psychology. Therapy Over 50 ultimately deals with the inevitable and unrelenting changes that take place along with corresponding lost and reconfigured dreams as well as the approaches and strategies that are most effective for working with this population. With an optimistic tone, Kottler and Carlson promote a philosophy of positive aging and development for the therapist and client, thereby offering hope and inspiration for both parties

While some background information is included, such as the theory supporting the specific skills and some historical and contextual information, it is kept to a minimum.

When clients need to make health changes, this is the definitive source that health professionals can confidently turn to for assessment and psychotherapeutic change strategies. 
 As more clients and patients require help in making health behavior changes, both mental health professionals and other health care professionals are increasingly recognizing their need to incorporate health counseling skills in their professional practice repertoire. Similarly, the emerging practice of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and the Surgeon General's directive in Healthy People 2010 for health counseling to be a core component in the training of all health professionals suggests that health counseling has come of age. Counselors, psychotherapists and other health professionals looking to enhance their health counseling skills can turn to Health Promotion and Health Counseling, Second Edition, for clinical input on the assessment, treatment and prevention of such common health concerns as weight control, smoking cessation, sexual performance difficulties, substance abuse, chronic disease, chronic pain, and sleep difficulties.

Their Finest Hour: Master Therapists Share Their Greatest Success Stories

How Master Therapists Work

How Master Therapists Work engages the reader in experiencing what really happens in therapy with master therapists: who they are, what they do, and how they bring about significant change in clients. It examines one master therapist’s actual six-session therapy (also available on DVD) that transformed a client’s life, resulting in changes that have been sustained for more than seven years. Session transcriptions directly involve the reader in every aspect of the therapeutic change process. This is followed by the commentary of a master therapist-psychotherapy researcher who explains how these changes were effected from a psychotherapy research perspective. Next, the master therapist who effected these changes explains what he was thinking and why he did what he did at key points in the therapy process. Then, the client shares her thoughts on this life changing therapeutic experience. This is a must have, one-of-a-kind book that will greatly enhance the therapeutic understanding and skills of both practicing therapists and therapists-in-training.
