Description:
Invited Address Session 12 Part 2 – Coping with Loss During Older Years – A Personal and Professional Perspective
Featuring Mary Goulding, MSW; with discussant Joseph Wolpe, MD.

As human beings age, we are bombarded with losses: of our professions, businesses or jobs; homes; health; ideals; friends; family members and partners. This address will offer special techniques, usable in brief or long-term therapy, to help aging clients find ways to honor their losses as well as their own integrity, as they continue to grow and to savor life.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the roles of contact and empathy in the therapeutic process.
- To list common emotional reactions to loss and techniques that are useful in responding to the clients’ emotions.
- To describe the therapeutic sequence in goodbye work.
