With its timely focus on aging-related applications of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), this book offers flexible tools and evidence-based strategies for use with middle-aged and older adults. Stand-alone chapters make it easy to flip between topics and tailor CBT to each client's needs, strengths, and circumstances. The book dispels ageist misconceptions while exploring assessment and treatment of common challenges, including depression, anxiety, loneliness, complicated grief, chronic pain, sleep problems, brain health concerns, and more. Sample dialogues, â€œDid You Know?,â€ and â€œExamining Our Attitudesâ€ boxes help clinicians build and apply key skills. Detailed examples of best practices will be appreciated by providers across a range of clinical settings. The companion website provides downloadable handouts and other helpful resources.

â€œExceptionally well written and thoroughly researched, this book is an ideal desktop companion for any busy CBT clinician. Steffen's vast experience shines through on every page; the case examples highlight her warmth and humanity as an exceptional, caring therapist. I appreciate that the book covers clients in midlife--a much-neglected developmental stage--as well as old age. The final chapter, on aging as a therapist, affords rare insight into how competence, knowledge, and humility develop in helping professionals.â€--Ken Laidlaw, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Exeter, United Kingdom; Consultant Clinical Psychologist, NHS Highland-
