Читать книгу Helping Relationships With Older Adults - Adelle M. Williams - Страница 91

 Older adults are capable, competent, and resilient.

 Maintaining one’s health involves exercise, good nutrition, and active social engagement.

 Intimacy is important to older adults, despite unanticipated limitations.

 Aging successfully is a subjective experience and continues to be a goal that elders should strive for.

 Older adults experience stressors that require intervention, though they continue to underutilize the mental health system.

 Professional counselors are challenged to increase their knowledge and skills to effectively work with elderly clients.

 Successful counselors are those who build trust, create an atmosphere of warmth, and acknowledge both the challenges and strengths brought to the therapeutic relationship.
