Samenvatting

Old and High exposes and addresses the hidden epidemic of older adults experiencing psychotropic substance dependence--and their consequential mental health needs. It provides insight for clinical professionals in psychology, social work, gerontology, nursing, and medicine on how to integrate current neuroscience findings with contemporary psychotherapy techniques and harm-reductive interventions to help older adults achieve successful recovery from substance abuse problems. Extensive use of clinical vignettes also offers a humanistic perspective to the academic, evidenced-based research presented in the text.
