Abstract

Mohlman et al.’s (2008) case history of Geoffrey makes a compelling case for adding training to improve cognitive functioning in older adults to enhance responsiveness to CBT.  They also provide by example a demonstration of therapist flexibility in working with older adults.  Along with attention to the influence of cohort differences and ethnic differences, the case provides a good model for what changes in working with older clients.
