In this edited volume, researchers and clinicians come together to discuss the prevalent psychological disorders that afflict older adults. Each chapter focuses on one of the major presenting problems--anxiety, insomnia, depression, memory function, behavioral disturbances, and the consequent psychological symptoms of family caregivers--with researchers identifying successful evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for the disorders, and clinicians discussing how they tailored the EBT to the special needs and conditions of their older clients.
