Abstract
There is probably no area in which there has been more misinformation, inconsistency, and stereotyping than in discussions about the role and efficacy of psychotherapy with the elderly. In this paper the author attempts to lay the foundation for an improved perspective on psychotherapeutic work with older people. He reviews concepts, techniques, process, and historical views as they relate to psychotherapy in later life.Keywords
