| Annotation | In the literature of psychotherapy, little attention has been given to work with older people. In this book, the author draws on his clinical experience with older people. It explains how to resolve resistances to contemplation and enable patients to face the realities of ageing and the inevitability of death. Methuselah is the older patient, and Echo is the therapist, who gives Methuselah back to himself by joining, mirroring and reflecting in the course of a treatment relationship. Transpersonal, psychodynamic and behavioural approaches are used to explore the existential problems of ageing, and to promote a vision of healthy narcissism in frail and ill older people. |
