Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: This Open Forum addresses challenges--insurance limitations, staff and setting limitations, and training and sustainability issues--in the implementation of psychotherapy interventions in settings serving older adults and provides solutions for ensuring that they have access to effective mental health services. There is considerable movement toward developing the geriatric mental health workforce, and it is important that these efforts include a discussion of implementation issues with regard to evidence-based psychotherapies as they are provided in services for aging populations.
