Abstract
provide an introduction to the range of approaches psychologists may use in serving nursing home residents with mental illness / begin by considering briefly a basic question: why should psychologists worry about nursing homes at all / after sketching the need for mental health services in long-term care settings, we consider how to ply the psychologist's trade in such settings / are adaptations of traditional service approaches necessary for successful work in nurisng homes / consider the importance of "leveraging" psychological expertise in nursing homes / how can psychologists "extend" their skills by consulting with a range of participants in the setting / consider the policy context that shapes the practice of psychology in nursing homes (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
