“…Prior to the symposium, all students reviewed a common reading by Slone (2002) about the importance of IP team treatment of older adults who experience dementia and depression and considered their team’s case from their discipline’s perspective. Starting in 2013, students also received a description of each discipline’s practice role to increase familiarity with other disciplines.…”

Healthcare providers, including psychologists who work as health service providers and with older adults, must be able to work effectively with professionals from other disciplines. Interprofessional education (IPE) engages students from two or more professions to learn collaboratively. To date, only a few studies have examined psychology student involvement in IPE. This article describes the experience of clinical psychology (Psy.D.) doctoral students (N ¼ 59) who attended a brief, interprofessional (IP) team training. Results of paired-samples t-tests suggest that there was an increase in self-reported positive attitudes about healthcare teams and skills related to working in IP teams from pretest to posttest. Hence, the training may facilitate the development of attitudes necessary for interprofessional competency and provide an opportunity to practice skills central to IP collaboration and team work which are essential for psychologists working in today's healthcare environment. This experience may serve as a model for psychology programs seeking to expose students to brief, IP, team-based learning.

Counseling psychology is well positioned to address issues of social justice to meet the needs of marginalized groups such as older adults. Given the rapid growth of the senior population and an insufficient number of competent professionals to serve them, it is imperative that counseling psychologists act immediately to develop effective pedagogies to prepare for the future. This article describes four nontraditional pedagogies that help prepare students to work with older adults: (a) service-learning (SL) involving undergraduates who provide community service to seniors; (b) an active learning strategy utilizing a narrative therapy technique, in a multicultural training setting with master's students; (c) a brief, case-based, interprofessional training experience for doctoral students; and (d) a hierarchical supervision model with doctoral and master's students in a community outreach wellness

“…Treatment of depression for a person with dementia is further complicated by environmental and system issues related to the contexts in which they live. Institutional variables that may affect the treatment include staff overload, turnover, and level of supervisor support (Burgio et al, 2002; Hyer & Ragan, 2002; Slone, 2002). Community variables impacting treatment would include the relationships within the family, family background, and issues of maintaining contact with the community caregiver (Teri, Logsdon, Wagner, & Uomoto, 1994; Kennedy, 2000).…”

Depression and dementia commonly coexist and are associated with higher rates of behavioral and functional problems. Caregivers of these individuals report higher levels of physical and mental distress, as well. Effective treatment, therefore, has the potential to help both the older adult and their caregiver. This article provides an overview of the current literature on treatment of depression in demented older adults, with particular emphasis on providing guidelines for evidence‐based clinical care. Eleven randomized controlled clinical trials were identified following an extensive review of the literature. These studies are reviewed with particular attention to the methodological issues of most relevance to clinicians attempting to use the findings from these studies to guide their practice. Issues of particular relevance when working with this population are also addressed, including (a) for assessment—differential and coexistent diagnosis of depression in dementia, use of collateral informants, self‐report and interviewer‐obtained information; and b) for treatment—the need for caregiver involvement, individualizing of goals, and planning for future deterioration of cognitive function.
