Building on the success of Working with the Elderly and their Carers, this new edition pursues an in depth understanding of therapy with older people. A wide range of clinical material and 3 new chapters draw on developments in psychodynamic theory and the author's experience to offer valuable insights for trainees and experienced practitioners.

'Terry relates stories of humanity, generosity and compassion that are wholly accessible to therapists whatever their therapeutic orientation…He acknowledges that age has enabled him to find his own voice – and it is both eloquent and profound.' – Vee Howard-Jones, Therapy Today
