Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to discuss two intertwined issues that occupy gerontologists. The first issue is ageism, and society’s negative attitude towards older adults. This issue creates a shortage of mental health servicesfor the elderly and deters young people from studying and specializing ingerontology. Ageism is also prevalent among many older adults themselves.The second issue is transference and counter-transfer in psychotherapy ofolder adults. The prejudices and ageism of both young and older adults shapethe relationship that is formed between the older patient and the therapist,the latter being often many years younger than the former. It also affects theexpectations of both sides from therapy
