| Annotation | The six articles in this special issue of Clinical Gerontologist consider important assessment and treatment topics in mental health care for older people in nursing home and assisted living facilities. The articles discuss: "preference assessment" procedures in managing depression and agitation in older people with dementia; behavioural treatment for depressed mood; certified nursing assistants' (CNAs) perceptions of empowerment; feasibility of psychological first aid for nursing home residents; the Behavior Assessment and Intervention Service (BAsIS) approach to nursing home consultation; and a training programme for residential care staff to improve family relations. The last two mentioned relate to practice in Australia, while the other four are United States studies. (RH). |
