Anxiety disorders
Dementia, delirium, amnesia, and other cognitive disorders
Geriatric psychiatry
Mental disorders in childhood and adolescence
Mood disorders
Multiaxial illnesses
Personality disorders
Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders
Sexual disorders and paraphilias

Educational Objectives
The goals of this program are to improve the recognition and treatment of substance abuse in older adults and to improve the adaptation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to older populations. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Define problematic substance use in older adults.
2. Reduce barriers to psychiatric treatment faced by geriatric populations.
3. Perform brief in-office interviewing that can assess and treat alcohol abuse.
4. Apply principles of CBT to improve the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders.
5. Reformulate psychotherapy and CBT strategies to improve responses among older adults.
