“…The scale has 21 items, although in the present research, item 21, 'loss of interest in sex', was removed, due to the distress or embarrassment which this item frequently elicited from this sample of 'old old' residents. This problem has been noted in previous research with older persons (Jefferson et al, 2001).…”

“…This instrument is one of the most commonly used scales to assess the presence and severity of depression in normal and clinical adult samples. This version of the BDI was revised to be consistent with DSM-IV criteria for diagnosing depressive disorder, and has been validated for use with depressed older adults in inpatient and community settings (Steer et al, 2000;Jefferson et al, 2001). A sample item is 'Sadness', with participants choosing between responses 'I do not feel sad', 'I feel sad much of the time', 'I am sad all the time', and 'I am so sad or unhappy that I can't stand it'.…”

“…Each of these techniques assesses the intensity of the depressive mood of the last 2 weeks. Jefferson, Powers, and Pope (2008) indicate that the BDI-II positively correlated with the GDS (r = .71) and both instruments demonstrated good internal consistency. However, GDS-15 is more often used in the study of older people.…”

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is the sense of deterioration in cognitive functioning in terms of memory, executive function, attention, etc. SCD is reported by nearly 70% of the population. Very intensive research on the predictive role of SCD in the development of dementia and determinants SCD did not bring common solutions. For exploration of the phenomenon, studies were undertaken in order to identify: a) on the basis of which factors a high level of SCD can be predicted, and b) whether these factors have similar prognostic value for two types of SCD, i.e. concerning executive function (SED) and memory (SMD). participants and procedure The study involved 274 Polish people aged 18 to 84 years (M = 53.23, SD = 16.8). For the evaluation of SCD three methods were used: memory self-assessment scales (Pro-Cog and MARS), and an executive functions self-assessment scale (DEX-S). Subtests of the WAIS-PL to assess cognitive function were used, and GDS-15 or BECK II to assess the severity of depressive mood. In the first stage, two separate cluster analyses (k-means method) were performed: the first related to the results of the memory self-assessment scale (ProCog and MARS), the second to the subjective difficulty of executive functions (DEX-S). In step II a logistic regression analysis of the forward selection with the likelihood ratio and interaction effects was performed-separately for the two types of self-reports. results The results indicate that higher depressed mood increases the likelihood of both the SMD and SED. Higher efficiency attentional processes reduce the possibility of formulating the SED, and higher efficiency of the delayed memory, abstract thinking, or certain aspects of language functions reduces the possibility of SMD. conclusions There are two independent mechanisms of SCD-emotional and cognitive.

“…There is research to support the use of the original version of the BDI (Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961) with older adults (Gallagher, Breckenridge, Steinmetz, & Thompson, 1983 ;Hyer & Blount, 1984 ;Norris, Gallagher, Wilson, & Winograd, 1987) . And, recent validation of the BDI-II indicates similar validity correlations between the BDI-II and GDS in use with older women (Jefferson, Powers, & Pope, 2000) . Because of the tendency for somatic items to be endorsed more frequently in the geriatric population, there has been concern about the BDI's tendency to overestimate depression in the elderly.…”

In Chap. 3, multidimensional and multi-and interdisciplinary nature of assessment with older adults. Included is a review of relevant psychological instruments, as well as the many issues important to consider when conducting "responsible assessments" with frail older adults living in long-term care settings.Chapter 4, written by Dr. Frazer, focuses on treatment plans, their intrinsic qualities, and how they are developed. In Chap. 5, Dr. Duffy explores several facets of treatment, including specific treatment approaches having demonstrated effectiveness with older adults. There is a discussion of the importance of integrating mental and behavioral health services with multiple disciplines and people who are also responsible for providing services. Dr. Duffy also points out that, when warranted and appropriate, discontinuing mental health services is an important element in the treatment process, worthy of special consideration. A new chapter in this edition, Chap. 6 by Drs. Hyer and Shah, introduces an important element in the training of and services delivered by geropsychologists, namely the integration of psychiatric medication understanding with consultation and psychological services.In Chap. 7, the authors Drs. Arnold, Colletti, and Stilwell, draw contrasts among the multiple disciplines providing services, including mental health services, in long-term care settings. To work effectively on an interdisciplinary team and to provide the highest quality of services, it is important to know about the roles and responsibilities of others providing health care services in long-term care settings. The discussion includes how the mental health disciplines differ from each other with respect to levels of training required of those proficient in geropsychology. There is an important focus on the topic of documentation from the perspectives of the Medicare carriers, privacy concerns, and outcomes measurement.Lastly, in Chap. 8, Dr. Karel takes up the topic of ethical issues, including consent to treatment, the right to privacy and confidentiality. Dr. Karel offers an important framework for ethical decision-making in long-term care. Concluding ThoughtsThis new publication, we believe, represents some of the best thinking in the field. We anticipate that this text will be a useful guide and educational resource to psychologists and other mental health practitioners working in, or endeavor...
