While a relatively small number of clinical psychology graduate programs offer specialized tracks in clinical geropsychology, the need for psychologists trained to work with older adults is increasing. This paper presents a model of training that could be adopted by generalist training programs to better prepare their students to work with older adults without creating a specialty program in geropsychology. The model identifies key domains of knowledge that should be covered, emphasizes service learning as a key element of training, provides a list of resources for faculty desiring to develop a geropsychology course, and suggests ways to overcome barriers that may prevent the implementation of the model.
虽然相对较少的临床心理学研究生项目提供临床老年心理学的专业方向，但对经过培训能够与老年人合作的心理学家的需求正在增加。本文提出了一种培训模式，通才培训项目可以采用这种模式，以便更好地让其学生为与老年人合作做好准备，而无需设立老年心理学专业项目。该模式确定了应涵盖的关键知识领域，强调服务学习是培训的关键要素，为希望开设老年心理学课程的教师提供了一份资源清单，并提出了克服可能阻碍该模式实施的障碍的方法。
