| Annotation | Verbosity (excessive, off-topic talking) has been identified as posing a suitability problem for cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) generally, and may create procedural problems for using CBT in older people in particular. This article describes some of the psychosocial factors that might contribute to verbosity in older people who are receiving therapy for depression and/or anxiety. More light is shed on this complex area by reference to a wide literature spanning older people's verbal behaviour, the nature and functions of storytelling, and cognitive or emotional avoidance processes.
