    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected older adults, not only through greater risk of illness and death but also by exacerbating underlying distress related to aging and mortality. Older adults' struggles with loneliness, fear of dying, and the sequelae of untreated medical conditions are viewed through the lens of anticipatory grief, and coping and treatment strategies are offered.

    Abstract Objectives: The goals of this narrative review are to review the literature on psychotherapeutic interventions for older adults with histories of child maltreatment (CM) and to examine the unique considerations for assessing, diagnosing, and treating older adults with CM histories.
    Methods: Online database searches were conducted to identify the extant research into the efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions for older adults with CM-related trauma.
    Results: Eight studies met inclusion criteria. The primary target diagnoses were post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Psychotherapeutic interventions included Narrative Exposure Therapy, exposure-based treatments, Life Review Therapy, integrated treatments, and a spiritually-focused group therapy.
    Conclusions: While limited in number and generalizability due to study design and sample size and characteristics, the studies provide preliminary evidence of potentially effective psychotherapeutic treatments for older adults with CM histories. Further research is needed to determine the most effective psychotherapeutic interventions for this population.
    Clinical implications: Many older adults suffer for decades with the repercussions of CM. Due to knowledge gaps regarding best practices for treating older adults with CM histories, many clinicians are poorly equipped to treat this population. Therefore, awareness of CM-related pathology and familiarity with effective psychotherapeutic interventions are essential for clinicians to meet the needs of this population.

    Abstract Comorbidity is common with posttraumatic stress disorder, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) is among the most common co-occurring disorders. When viewed through the lens of avoidance behaviors, AUD can shape an individual's response to distressing trauma reminders by dulling the emotional response and promoting disengagement from the traumatic memory. Over time, this response strengthens posttraumatic distress by reinforcing the belief that traumatic memories and their emotional responses are themselves dangerous and intolerable. In turn, this belief may impede treatment progress. Concurrent trauma-focused therapy and AUD treatment can serve to establish more adaptive coping strategies. Reducing reliance on alcohol for coping while engaging safely and effectively with trauma memories allows the individual to process the memories, build tolerance to emotional distress, and ultimately reframe maladaptive trauma-related beliefs and decrease the intensity of reactions. This case presents concurrent psychopharmacology and cognitive processing therapy for co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder and AUD. We explore how alcohol use, and emotional avoidance more broadly, become targets for change.

    Abstract In this study, we examined help-seeking pathways and help-receiving experiences among Latinos, a population that has been shown to under-utilize mental health services. We used the qualitative approach of dual mode of analysis to explore the experiences of 13 Latino men and women who utilized formal as well as informal treatment and support resources. We explored three specific themes: (a) individual and family help-seeking perspectives intersecting with Latino cultural norms; (b) referral source and style, needs identification, and prior help-seeking experiences as key motivational factors for help seeking; and (c) client-therapist match and client-therapist relational style as integral to mental health treatment satisfaction. We discuss clinical implications for efforts to improve the cultural sensitivity and accessibility of mental health services.

    Abstract Despite decades of research, racial and ethnic disparities in behavioral health care persist. The Affordable Care Act expanded access to behavioral health care, but many reform initiatives fail to consider research about racial/ethnic minorities. Mistaken assumptions that underlie the expansion of behavioral health care run the risk of replicating existing service disparities. Based on a review of relevant literature and numerous observational and field studies with minority populations, we identified the following three mistaken assumptions: Improvement in health care access alone will reduce disparities, current service planning addresses minority patients' preferences, and evidence-based interventions are readily available for diverse populations. We propose tailoring the provision of care to remove obstacles that minority patients face in accessing treatment, promoting innovative services that respond to patients' needs and preferences, and allowing flexibility in evidence-based practice and the expansion of the behavioral health workforce. These proposals should help meet the health care needs of a growing racial/ethnic minority population.

    Abstract Background: Clinicians are advised to provide culturally competent care but little is known about how this directive translates into clinical practice. we investigated how this directive was implemented by describing how clinicians utilize sociocultural (SC) information, and how it impacts the clinical encounter.
    Method: Data were collected in clinics in the Northeast of the U.S. Clients (N=129) and clinicians (N=47) participated in three components of the study: videotaping of the clinical intake, a qualitative interview, and reporting on sociodemographics. thematic analysis of interviews was conducted using NVivo7.
    Results: Clinicians used sociocultural information to understand clients' clinical presentation; inform diagnosis; differentiate psychopathology from contextual circumstances that influence behavior; create empathy; and individuate clients.
    Limitations: Since the study only included data from public clinics, the results may not generalize to other settings.
    Conclusions: Integrating SC information appears critical to client engagement and to bonding between client and clinician, particularly for diverse populations utilizing public clinics.

    Abstract Background: Primary care providers (PCP) are the entry point for public sector depression treatment for many Latino patients. However, many Latino patients do not initiate their PCPs' recommended treatment, which likely contributes to ethnic disparities in depression treatment. This study examined factors related to Latino patients' uptake of their PCPs' recommendations for depression treatment.
    Method: Ninety Latino primary care patients who received a depression treatment recommendation from their PCP participated in a telephone interview. Patients rated their working alliance with their PCP and their PCP's cultural competence. They also reported their treatment preference, the type of recommendation, and their intended and actual uptake of the recommendation. Patients were contacted at two time points (Time 1: M = 14 days after PCP appointment; Time 2: M = 84 days after PCP appointment) to report their uptake status.
    Results: At Time 1, 23% of patients had initiated uptake of the treatment recommendation, increasing to 53% at Time 2. Patients who received a medication recommendation were more likely to have followed though on the recommendation, compared with patients who received a psychotherapy recommendation. The working alliance was positively associated with intention to follow up on a treatment recommendation, and also mediated the relationship between cultural competence and intention of following up on the recommendation.
    Conclusion: PCP's treatment recommendation and the PCP-patient alliance play a role in Latino primary care patients intention to follow a treatment recommendation for depression. An improved understanding of this role could enhance efforts to improve depression treatment uptake.

    Abstract Objective: To test the acceptability and effectiveness of a disability prevention intervention, Positive Minds-Strong Bodies (PMSB), offered by paraprofessionals to mostly immigrant elders in four languages.
    Design: Randomized trial of 307 participants, equally randomized into intervention or enhanced usual care.
    Setting: Community-based organizations in Massachusetts, New York, Florida, and Puerto Rico serving minority elders. Data collected at baseline, 2, 6, and 12 months, between May 2015 and March 2019.
    Participants: English-, Spanish-, Mandarin-, or Cantonese-speaking adults, age 60+, not seeking disability prevention services, but eligible per elevated mood symptoms and minor to moderate physical dysfunction.
    Interventions: Ten individual sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy (PM) concurrently offered with 36 group sessions of strengthening exercise training (SB) over 6 months compared to enhanced usual care.
    Measurements: Acceptability defined as satisfaction and attendance to >50% of sessions. Effectiveness determined by changes in mood symptoms (HSCL-25 and GAD-7), functional performance (SPPB), self-reported disability (LLFDI), and disability days (WHODAS 2.0).
    Results: Around 77.6% of intervention participants attended over half of PM Sessions; 53.4% attended over half of SB sessions. Intent-to-treat analyses at 6 months showed significant intervention effects: improved functioning per SPPB and LLFDI, and lowered mood symptoms per HSCL-25. Intent-to-treat analyses at 12 months showed that effects remained significant for LLFDI and HSCL-25, and disability days (per WHODAS 2.0) significantly decreased 6-month after the intervention.
    Conclusions: PMSB offered by paraprofessionals in community-based organizations demonstrates good acceptability and seems to improve functioning, with a compliance-benefit effect showing compliance as an important determinant of the intervention response.
