Overview

""Methuselah's Echo"" focuses on psychotherapy with patients over 65, the fastest growing segment of our population. Basing his findings on 20 years of work with the elderly, Dr George Bouklas explains how to resolve resistances to contemplation and return elderly patients to a maturational path on which they can face with greater equanimity the realities of ageing and the inevitability of death. Echoing refers to joining, mirroring and reflecting; therapeutic techniques that enable patients to become increasingly self-aware. The author demonstrates how these approaches work, and how to apply them in the context of psychodynamic, interpersonal and behavioural interventions. He further explains how the therapist promotes progress with people in this age group, and with vivid examples shows what inspiration and wisdom can be gained from working with the elderly.
