As our population ages, we can expect to see more "senior clients" in our offices, many of whom will be freaking out about losing their memories. In this workshop, you'll learn how to help such clients sort out the difference between normal, age-related cognitive impairment and what could be more serious conditions. You'll receive an assessment toolkit for identifying clients' cognitive strengths, weaknesses, and ability to cope with memory challenges that result from aging, and learn strategies for keeping clients' mental capacities as sharp as possible. For situations in which memory has begun to fail, we'll discuss how to apply approaches drawn from Positive Psychology to help clients forgive themselves for getting old, recognize their limitations with equanimity, gracefully accept help when necessary, and find emotional and intellectual fulfillment in life even if they're no longer 25, 45, or even 65.
