	Abstract

This article describes how existential–humanistic psychotherapy can be useful in working with the elderly. Specifically, the article describes the psychotherapeutic themes of presence, spirituality, and meaning and shows how they are important in working with the geriatric population. Using case studies from the author’s own work, the article provides concrete illustrations of how to work with older individuals. Implications for research and training are discussed.
