AbstractA dramatic increase in the number of elderly is expected to continue well into the next century. This graying of America suggests that the marital and family therapist will be dealing with the complex problems of a population who have traditionally underutilized mental health services and who have been viewed by professionals with a negative and stereotypic bias. The method of “exaggerated engagement” is featured and brief attention is paid to general assessment and treatment issues involving the older adult in marital therapy.
