The growth of the older population has accentuated the need for
consideration of how to manage stressors that compromise
successful living across the aging continuum and that affect older
adults’ successful aging.
This paper, of theoretical reach, comes to explain some of the most
pertinent older adults’ issues in the context of person-centered therapy
(PCT), as well as research to sustain person-centered approach to older
populations. First we examine some of older adults’ main contributors
and limits to successful aging, based on growing literature. Then, we
introduce PCT and its potential for addressing older adults and finally we
explore older adults’ issues while discussing them within the PCT context.
The value of this paper is to deepen the understanding of older adults’
distinctive reality and to help health care and medical professionals to
better understand older adults’ needs. As professionals adapt to the
shifting demographic composition of reality, it should be of importance
to comprehend what old age might mean to older adults, to whom we
are attending. Interventions with older adults may benefit from clearly
understanding PCT as an important approach for promoting successful
aging and reducing health and medical disparities.
