Abstract
Old age is characterized as a period of resiliency when the older person uses internal and external resources to overcome the challenges presented by this stage of life. By acknowledging older adults’ resiliency and spiritual resources in light of past and present risk factors, care providers can focus on capabilities, assets, and positive attributes rather than problems and pathologies. This paper presents a conceptual and practical framework for teaching strengths perspective counseling for older clients in which resiliency and spirituality best describe the application or operationalization of strengths.
