Internet Delivered Psychotherapy for Older Adults

"Problem-Solving Therapy for Older Adults (Ger-iPST) is an 8-week online psychotherapy program with online therapist support delivered through the Online Psycho Therapy Tool (OPTT). Ger-iPST has several evidence-based elements tailored to the specific needs of older adults, including relevant content (e.g. aging-related examples); process adaptations (e.g. more repetition); and digital usability modifications (e.g. high-contrast text).~Ger-iPST contains therapy modules assigned weekly and accessible at any time during the week. Modules begin with a brief, guided mindfulness relaxation exercise, followed by approximately 20 slides taking, on an average 1 hour to complete. Each module highlights a different step of Psychotherapy (PST) and includes an overview of a new skill, interactive activities and examples. A homework exercise designed to guide participants in applying a new PST skill exercise is submitted through the platform, and a clinician will provide personalized feedback."
