- W2346985983 abstract "The experience of creating this special edition on aging has been exciting and gratifying, especially since there has been a clear neglect in the literature on clinical processes with older adults. While there have been several books and articles on cognitive behavioral applications to alleviate specific symptoms and problems in older adulthood, little has been focused on the significance of understanding the dynamics that influence the potential of older adults to face the challenges of aging. Perhaps this is a disavowal because of the myths associated with ageism, and specifically an archaic view that the challenges of aging impair the ability of older adults to benefit from therapy. Clinicians also experience their own fears of inevitable challenges and, ultimately, confrontations with mortality. These may create an unconscious reluctance on the part of therapists to embrace the topics of aging in their clients as well as in themselves. Clinicians must gain an appreciation that all of life development, the realities of later years, and the impact of those challenging life experiences on how we live and anticipate the future is at the heart of our work. Perhaps this is especially difficult because of our own conscious and unconscious needs to deny our own changing lives. After all, these issues, which impact our clients, impact clinicians themselves. Physical limitations, unwanted diagnoses, losses of friends and family are all universal experiences that occur in this most taxing of life stages. For clinicians confronted with the vicissitudes of aging in themselves and those they work with, there are transferences and countertransferences that are insistently at play. It is in the course of the creation of stories based on our own experiences and those with whom we work, that we are given the chance to reflect. Embracing these internal and external encounters make apparent the quality and importance of relationships we engage in with clients, as well as friends and family. The articles compiled in this special issue provide a snapshot of the meanings we assign to our work, our environment and relationships, all in the service of anticipating our ‘‘older’’ selves. It is clear that as the number of aging adults increase, this population will change the complexion of clinical practice. The demographics of age have clearly shifted to a sizable portion of the population. There were 40.3 million adults over the age of 65 in the United States in 2010 and it is expected that this number will increase to 72.1 million by 2030 (IOM, 2012) Not only have we seen an exponential rise in the number of older adults over the age of 65, but people are living and working longer despite the likelihood of chronic conditions. The new demographic of older adults includes those having grown up in a generation that values ‘‘talking’’ about problems, using relationships to solve problems and gain perspective on our motivations, feelings and behaviors, This cohort is amenable to relational problem solving and are eager to ‘‘tell their life story,’’ making them especially receptive to psychodynamic psychotherapy. There are, however, few within the mental health professions who specialize in work with older adults. Only 4 % of practicing social workers have a primary focus/training in gerontology. Approximately the same percentage of psychologists focus on work with older adults. (APA) There are few programs that offer training or & Barbara Berger bbergerphd@sbcglobal.net" @default.
