| Annotation | The authors reflect on their experience of running therapy groups in an NHS Community Service for Older People. They discuss an eight-session closed group for six to eight participants experiencing high levels of distress, need to learn coping strategies, but able to tolerate being in a group, coming prepared to share their experiences and listen to others. Given a waiting list of older people with a range of conditions, running a transdiagnostic group would enable managing a range of emotional difficulties and would meet the needs of more people. The article considers the selection of appropriate clients and their physical health needs. The authors summarise feedback from a group of five which ran April-June 2012, which although small, was thought to be good start in developing a database of outcome measures and an evidence base for working transdiagnostically.
