| Abstract: | 7,326 clinical and counseling psychologists were sent a 3-page questionnaire that requested information regarding attitudes toward, knowledge of, and practices with mature and older adults. The response rate was 19%. Results indicate that although psychologists may have some stereotyped impressions of the aged, they generally have some basic knowledge about the aging process. They are interested in learning more about this area and are interested in seeking out aged clients so that adequate care may be provided.
