Description

Ashley Curtis and Christina McCrae introduce a symposium in two thousand twenty-four on theory-guided ways to improve behavioral treatments for older adults. Too few geriatric mental health providers exist, drugs for thinking and sleep problems work only modestly, and drug side effects pile up in older patients. Behavioral approaches are a promising answer.

The session's papers share one theme: using psychosocial theory to tune treatments to the people who will use them. One paper applies a biopsychosocial model to cognitive training and weighs how expectations shape gains. Another describes step-by-step refinement of a wellness program for older adults.
