AnnotationThe author demonstrates that people can benefit from long-term psychotherapy at any age, provided they have the motivation and the right attitude. She explores the older person's sense of selfhood, and considers key issues which older people face such as prejudices, stereotypes, ageism, bereavement, physical change, sexuality, regression, and fear of death. She also questions why therapists tend to avoid working with older age groups, and how therapists can help both their patients and themselves face the usual fears and issues of old age.
