Il presente lavoro intende illustrare i principali approcci psicoterapici presenti, rivolti al trattamento del disagio psicologico nell’anziano. Dopo una breve presentazione della psicologia dell’invecchiamento, nella sua evoluzione storica tra miti e scienza, e della cornice teorica e storico-culturale in cui si inserisce la psicoterapia dell’anziano, vengono illustrate le caratteristiche del setting e delle modalità di intervento, nonché le evidenze sperimentali relative agli studi di efficacia, nei principali approcci della terapia psicodinamica, cognitivocomportamentale e cognitivo-costruttivista. Vengono inoltre brevemente descritti ulteriori approcci significativi di intervento clinico, quali la terapia interpersonale e la Mindfullness che hanno contribuito a realizzare adattamenti ai classici modelli di intervento per la cura dell’anziano, e la Life Review Therapy. Viene infine presentata una sintesi delle evidenze empiriche circa l’efficacia di alcuni approcci adattati a persone affette da declino cognitivo, presenti in quadri di Mild Cognitive Impairment o demenza, riportando tra questi un intervento specificatamente rivolto a persone affette da demenza di grado moderato-severo, quale la Doll Therapy. Dai lavori descritti emerge un quadro complesso ed articolato, dal quale si evince l’esigenza, trasversale ai diversi approcci, di adattare gli interventi psicoterapici alle caratteristiche peculiari ed ai bisogni specifici della persona anziana, al fine di valorizzarne risorse e potenzialità.;
