Paper abstract bibtex Clinical interventions for older women draw upon knowledge about mental health in later life but must be tailored to the specific challenges women face as they grow older in Western societies that typically view and portray them negatively. In this chapter, we present a model for understanding the concerns of older women and offer suggestions for mental health practitioners to follow in providing care to this population. According to the biopsychosocial model of lifespan development, physical, psychological, and social factors interact to influence the trajectory of an individual's aging process (Whitbourne and Whitbourne 2014). This model predicts that there are large individual differences in the nature and progression of age-related changes, many of which are influenced by broad social factors. For older women in particular, societal and psychological issues related to gender play a crucial role in influencing mental and physical health (Whitbourne and Bookwala in press). In this chapter, we discuss the effect of gender on the mental health of older women. Through a feminist lens, we then explore specific clinical interventions that can improve older women's mental health. Throughout the chapter, we focus on the impact of social constraints on and cultural stereotypes of older women that can act as barriers to attaining appropriate treatment.
