✦ Synopsis

Findings from reviews of outcome studies indicate that therapy is effective with older adults. The contextual, cohort-based, maturity, specific-challenge model (CCMSC) is used to organize an overview of findings from scientific gerontology. These findings suggest that some adaptations are needed when working with older adults, but that these changes are more often due to cohort-differences, context effects, and presenting problems rather than to the age of the client.
