There is a recommended textbook for this course: Counseling the Older Adult: A Training Manual in Clinical Gerontology, 2nd ed., by Patricia Alpaugh McDonald and Margaret Haney.
Intended for the layperson and the beginning counselor/case manager, this course offers a step-by-step approach to case work with older adults. Participants first learn to recognize and understand nonverbal communication; to remember, identify, and respond to feelings, both their own and those of their clients; and to recognize and rate their own responses to the client. On this foundation, the course then builds a progressive understanding of and practice in counseling and case management. Students learn how to establish rapport and make contact; how to define a problem, set goals, and clarify issues; how to list and explore alternatives; and how to make a decision and provide closure.
