| Opplysninger | In contrast to younger adults, a paucity of research examines therelative efficacy of treatments for depression among the elderly.Limited research demonstrates the utility of various psychosocialinterventions in comparison and relative to control conditions. Thisbrief, but coherent body of research attests to the efficacy ofpsychotherapy. The question remains, however, why somaticinterventions (e.g., medication, electro-convulsive therapy) remainthe treatments of choice among health care professionals. Thisarticle; examines various explanations for the limited use ofpsychotherapy for geriatric depression.
