Abstract
There have been several therapeutic advances based on the application of Social Skills approaches to psychological disorders. However, only a few studies report work specifically with elderly clients. It is suggested that a simple extension of social skill and assertion training programs to elderly clients is, in most cases, not appropriate. Instead the theoretical model should be reapplied and the relevant problems identified. In contrast to younger groups, difficulties in social relations between elderly people and their caregivers seem likely to be the most potentially fruitful area.
