-
Chapters that overview epidemiology data, diagnostic criteria, assessment, and CBT approaches to treatment
-
Case examples, including those that depict a composite of a successfully aging older adult
-
A comprehensive resource section including handouts, note templates, and other useful tips and worksheets for practice

A listing of supplemental texts, patient resources, and summary charts
