OLDER AGE TREATMENT EXPECTATIONS.

- Abstract
This article focuses on the relationship between age and treatment expectations in psychiatric patients. Treatment expectations (TE) is a construct that has been evaluated from a number of perspectives. It has been considered a nonspecific treatment factor. Most often, however, it has been related to treatment outcome. As a treatment factor, TE is a broad-band construct. Some of these include self and therapist beliefs, diagnostic factors, patient attitude, as well as a host of psychological factors, such as hopelessness, control, and treatment dropout. One key variable that has been virtually ignored is age. As with psychotherapy research of all ages, TE has been implicated in the aging research with such psychological factors as hopelessness in long-term care settings and with locus of control, values, and self-concept.
