For older adults with mental health issues, problem-solving skills can weaken as a result of cognitive decline in late life. Problem-solving therapy is especially suited for work with older adults because it encourages the client to define his or her problems concretely in terms of the stimuli, responses, and consequences.
In this video, Dr. Patricia Arean demonstrates the effective use of problem-solving therapy with a 62 year old retired woman who is the sole caregiver of her grandchild, as well as both of her parents. The client has been struggling with depression, severe mood swings, and sleeplessness for about five years.
Dr. Patricia A. Arean is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the the University of California, San Francisco, USA, and is a licensed clinical psychologist. Dr. Arean is an international expert on effectiveness of behavioural interventions for mood disorders, in particular for adapting these interventions for a variety of health and mental health settings (primary care medicine, assisted living settings, social service settings, mental health settings), and more recently in mobile health applications. Since 1994, Dr. Arean has published more than100 peer reviewed articles on these topics and has been funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute on Aging, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and the Hartford Foundation. She is currently funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study the effectiveness of ""brain games"" on mood and the effectiveness of mobile health apps on mood. Her work has won national recognition, resulting in an early career award from APA, a mid-career award from the National Institutes of Health for her work on disseminating evidence-based practices and the Award for Achievements in Diversity in Mental Health from the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry. Dr. Arean currently leads an interdisciplinary research team consisting of researchers from diverse backgrounds, including social work, nursing, psychiatry, family and general medicine, medical sociology and clinical psychology.
