The “reluctant therapist” phenomenon has been suggested as one explanation for the insufficient provision of mental health services to the elderly. This study explored the motivation for work with the elderly in Israeli students and practitioners of clinical psychology. The results confirmed the lower motivation for treating elderly adults as compared to other age groups. The two most powerful predictors of motivation were the attitude toward psychotherapy for the elderly and past professional experience in this field. Generally, the subjects' motivation was better predicted by professional characteristics and attitudes than by personal ones. The discussion deals with theoretical implications, possible applications, and suggestions for further research. This study was supported by a grant of the P. Sapir Center for Development, Tel Aviv University, Israel. We are greatly indebted to Ron Shouval, Dalia Gilboa, and Daniel Lombroso, as well as to many other psychologists and professionals. We thank Avi Eidelstein, Dafna Pelah, Meidan Turel, and David Zohar for their dedicated assistance. Address correspondence to Dov Shmotkin, PhD, the Unit of the Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, Department of Psychology, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 69978, Israel. |
