Abstract
Contrary to the predisposition of many mental health professionals, this paper contends that insight-oriented, dynamically-based, individual psychotherapy is an effective treatment modality with the institutionalized elderly. Issues such as dependency, transference and countertransference, contrasts to psychotherapy with younger patients, and methodological modifications are discussed, and clinical examples are offered.Keywords
