[Preventing emotional disorders in the elderly with programs based on cognitive-behavioral therapies]. / Prévenir les troubles émotionnels des personnes âgées avec des programmes fondés sur les thérapies cognitivo-comportementales.

ABSTRACT

The cognitive-behavioral approach is particularly well-suited to older people who are looking for a short-term therapeutic solution to many emotional problems, without necessarily resorting to psychotropic drugs. One of the major advantages of this type of psychological treatment is that it helps seniors develop coping skills that can be beneficial in both the short and long term. However, some adjustments are sometimes necessary to achieve this goal.
