“…When an intervention is needed, it is known that person-centered care increased in the three dimensions of SOC in older adults. 7 Regarding the evaluation of the SOC, the Antonovsky Consciousness Scale has been validated by Virués-Ortega et al, 8 and confirmed a factorial structure with adequate validation and reliability indexes in Spanish elderly adults. In Mexico, the 29-item version has been used 9,10 and 13, only the reliability of this latest version has been reported.…”

In old age there are losses and stressful situations, so tools are required to successfully face these situations, the sense of coherence (SOC), can provide these tools, so the goal was to explore the presence of SOC in older adults, through a review of the literature. The results indicate that SOC is a present condition in older adults, even when there are illnesses and emotional problems such as depression, as well as favoring resilience and general health.

“…Para el efecto, es necesario analizar la relación entre los hallazgos de las investigaciones de la neurogeriatria y las técnicas alternativas de intervención que posibilitan retardar el declive progresivo de la capacidad cognitiva y de autonomía de los adultos mayores. Entre estas opciones alternativas, se ubican los "programas de estimulación cognitiva" (Von Humboldt & Leal, 2013, Tárraga & Boada, 2003.…”

El propósito del estudio consistió en evaluar la ejecución del programa de estimulación cognitiva en adultos mayores, con el fin de mejorar la práctica del programa en centros gerontológicos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 15 residentes en el Ancianato Laboure de la ciudad de Quito. El estudio demostró que el 37% mantuvo su nivel cognitivo y el 25% lo mejoró, respecto al dato de la línea de base. El nivel de relación que existe entre la neuroplasticidad y el impacto de los programas de estimulación cognitiva, motivan a la investigación de otras variables importantes tendientes a mejorar la metodología de las intervenciones con adultos mayores.

“…Previous work prior to therapy, establishing psychological contact with the older client, may be necessary in these cases (Prouty 2003). Overall, psychotherapy in old age appears to have strong benefits in decreasing relapses, addressing agerelated issues, relieving depression and anxiety, and improving general interpersonal and health functioning (Hunsley et al 2013;von Humboldt and Leal 2013). Additionally, it may underline positive trends, help in feelings of vulnerability and loneliness and organizations of feelings and thoughts, differentiate psychotic perceptions from reality, and deepen emotional conflicts that might be emphasizing the problem or condition (Hunsley et al 2013;Jonsson et al 2016;von Humboldt and Leal 2013).…”

“…Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy (PDT) are the most frequently used psychotherapies with older adults (Consoli et al 2016). Other commonly used psychotherapies are person-centered therapy (PCT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) (Consoli et al 2016;von Humboldt and Leal 2013).…”

Psychotherapeutic interventions are based on a scientific theoretical basis, use psychological techniques to minimize symptoms, contribute to general well-being, and modify cognitive, motivational, interpersonal, emotional, or behavioral processes (Linde et al. 2015). Older adults are one of the most vulnerable groups in our communities, with specific health and psychological needs (Bazooband et al. 2016). Older adults may need some form of therapeutic support in old age. Psychotherapy certainly has come to play a role in the lives of old individuals since the term's conception in the late nineteenth century (Atiq 2006). Wherein its aim is to alleviate suffering and provide adequate psychological functioning, psychotherapy with older adults may address emotional, mental, and psychological problems and age-related difficulties (Atiq 2006). Psychotherapy is applicable to frail older adults with mental disorders (e.g., depressive or anxiety conditions, dementia), physical conditions (e.g., chronic pain, trouble walking, poor vision, age per se), and psychological issues (e.g., isolation, daily stressors) (Jonsson et al. 2016). Overview Psychotherapy may be a primary or complementary, depending on the context and on the individual. Literature indicates that knowledge about aging, older adults, and on the experience of psychotherapy in old age has progressively increased (Atiq 2006). Common challenges of older individuals include managing aging, death, and illness while maintain enjoyment and happiness. Additionally, strains and conflicts in the relationship may call upon the fear of loneliness, lack of intimacy, abandonment, survival, and sexual failure. The use of psychotherapy to older adults, as a care and treatment, is ample and valuable. Indeed, transitions of old age and changing roles and mental issues are appropriate opportunities for therapeutic work in a variety of psychological approaches (Atiq 2006). Different models of psychotherapy emphasize cognitive processing, emotional experience, and behavior. Even though psychotherapy demonstrably reduces the incidence of mental disorders,
