Description:
Although generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) was once an understudied illness, there has been an increase in research on the disorder over the past several years. A subset of studies has focused on the psychosocial treatment of late-life GAD. It was initially expected that cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) would prove to be the most effective treatment for GAD in the elderly. Although group format CBT has outperformed no-treatment control conditions in some studies, the existing body of work does not clearly indicate the superiority of CBT over alternative interventions [e.g., supportive therapy (ST)]. Trials of individual format CBT have tested augmented or otherwise nonstandard versions of the therapy. Therefore, it may not be appropriate to assume a smooth transfer of CBT benefits across age groups in the treatment of GAD. This review summarizes and discusses the current state of psychosocial interventions for late-life GAD, including group and individual format CBT, limitations of existing research, and suggestions for future directions.
