Behavioral health programs have systematically excluded older adults with significant disability and/or cognitive impairment as they have difficulty engaging in various types of psychotherapy including Problem Solving Therapy (PST). Problem Adaptation Therapy (PATH) is a treatment developed at Weill Cornell's Westchester Division by Dimitri Kiosses, PhD for older adults with depression, cognitive impairment, and disability.
