However, there is limited research identifying ways to ameliorate psychological distress in individuals with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Case An 84-year-old gentleman was referred to the Older Adult (OA) Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) due to low mood following a PSP diagnosis. After assessment and formulation, elements of a cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) framework which adapted ‘Walk and Talk’ therapy to Wheel and Talk, was used to support a move towards a sense of acceptance following the associated losses of a PSP diagnosis. Consent Verbal consent was sought and gained from the client. Details have been amended to protect their identity. A pseudonym, Robert, was utilised for this client. Results Through ongoing assessment and reformulation, adapting sessions to have an outdoor focus enabled Robert to move towards a sense of connectedness to his values and identity. Conclusion This case summary reveals the importance of empowering services to adapt to the needs of the client through simple modifications and modelling.","PeriodicalId":492174,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin Psychology of Older People","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134935287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CST also has a growing evidence base in improving cognitive functioning and quality of life for people living with dementia. A CST group was set up on a dementia inpatient ward to explore if the benefits in previous research could be replicated in an inpatient setting. The CST group ran once a week for approximately one hour which was facilitated by the ward assistant psychologist and activity facilitator. The evaluation of the group indicates services users found the sessions to be inclusive, thought provoking, cognitively stimulating and enjoyable.","PeriodicalId":492174,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin Psychology of Older People","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134933818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I’ve been writing poetry for around three years when my girlfriend at the time got me interested. Since then I’ve developed my voice and write mainly about mental health, love, and love lost. I was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder a long time ago and draw on my experiences and feelings. I use a pen name sometimes ‘the manic poet’ and I also introduce the semi colon into my work (it’s a mental health symbol meaning survival), also ‘gold and silver’ makes some appearances. Through poetry I can express difficult thoughts and feelings.","PeriodicalId":492174,"journal":{"name":"FPOP Bulletin Psychology of Older People","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134987375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
