Eliza Is an Intern at a Mental Health Facility

Eliza is an intern at a mental health facility. She notices that very few of the clients are elderly and asks her supervisor why. If he holds typical views about the benefits of psychological treatment for the elderly, his reply may be:

A) "Older people do not tend to have mental health issues that require treatment."
B) "Older people who have mental health issues seek care from their family doctors, not us."
C) "Older people don't respond well to treatment, so unless their situation is dangerous, we don't treat them."
D) "We just seem to be experiencing a lull - don't worry they'll be here soon."
