this is another thing i found on CBT on study of its effency with older adults....

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with older adults[edit source | editbeta]
CBT is used to help people of all ages, but the therapy should be adjusted based on the age of the patient with whom the therapist is dealing. Older individuals in particular have certain characteristics that need to be acknowledged and the therapy altered to account for these differences thanks to age.[55] Some of the challenges to CBT because of age include the following:
The Cohort Effect
The times that each generation lives through partially shape its thought processes as well as values, so a 70-year-old may react to the therapy very differently from a 30-year-old, because of the different culture in which they were brought up. A tie-in to this effect is that each generation has to interact with one another, and the differing values clashing with one another may make the therapy more difficult.[55]
Established Role
By the time one reaches old age, the person has a definitive idea of her or his role in life and is invested in that role. This social role can dominate who the person thinks he or she is and may make it difficult to adapt to the changes required in CBT.[55]
Mentality toward Aging
If the older individual sees aging itself as a negative and this can exacerbate whatever malady the therapy is trying to help (depression and anxiety for example).[55] Negative stereotypes and prejudice against the elderly cause depression as the stereotypes become self-relevant.[52]
Processing Speed Decreases
As we age, we take longer to learn new information, and as a result may take more time to learn and retain the cognitive therapy. Therefore, therapists should slow down the pacing of the therapy and use any tools both written and verbal that will improve the retention of the cognitive behavioral therapy.[55]
