Terror management theory (TMT) posits that cultural worldviews function to allay concerns about human mortality. Preliminary research with older adults has indicated that seniors do not respond to death reminders in the same way as their younger counterparts. The purpose of the current study was to test a developmentally relevant construct that may buffer death anxiety in later life. It was hypothesized that Erikson’s concept of generativity may encompass death-denying properties for older adults. One hundred and seventy-nine seniors were recruited to determine if subtle mortality salience inductions would lead participants to rate their own generativity as higher than after a blatant induction, or no induction, after controlling for pre-induction generativity. As expected, participants exposed to subtle death primes rated themselves as having higher levels of generativity than the other two groups after co-varying pre-induction generativity. Explanations are discussed in light of the literatures on TMT and generativity.

The neurological determination of death (NDD, brain death) is principally a clinical evaluation. However, ancillary testing is required when there are factors confounding the clinical determination or when it is impossible to complete the minimum clinical criteria. At the time of the 2003 Canadian Forum clarifying the criteria for brain death, 4-vessel cerebral angiography or radionuclide angiography were the recommended tests and the electroencephalogram was no longer supported. At the request of practitioners in the field, the Canadian Council for Donation and Transplantation sponsored the assembly of neuroradiology and neurocritical care experts to make further recommendations regarding the use of ancillary testing. At minimum, patients referred for ancillary testing should be in a deep unresponsive coma with an established etiology, in the absence of reversible conditions accounting for the unresponsiveness and the clinical examination should be performed to the fullest extent possible. For newborns, children and adults, demonstration of the absence of brain blood flow by following recommended imaging techniques fulfill the criteria for ancillary testing: 1. radionuclide angiography or CT angiography 2. traditional 4-vessel angiography 3. Magnetic resonance angiography or Xenon CT. In the absence of neuroimaging, an established cardiac arrest, as defined by the permanent loss of circulation, fulfills the ancillary criteria for the absence of brain blood flow. Acknowledging the existing limitations in this field, further research validating current or evolving techniques of brain blood flow imaging are recommended.

Background: Although psychosocial treatments for pain have been found to be effective in reducing self-reported pain, physician visits, and in improving mood, the research has largely focused on younger persons. As such, there is a paucity of related studies involving older adults. Method: We implemented and evaluated a 10-session psychosocial (i.e. cognitive behavioural orientation) pain management program that was specifically designed for older adults. The intervention was delivered either in the participants' homes or in bookable rooms in seniors' residence buildings. Ninety-five community dwelling seniors with at least one chronic pain condition were assigned to either a treatment or a wait-list control condition. An assessment battery was administered to treatment participants immediately before the program started, immediately post-treatment, and 3-months post-treatment. Comparable data were obtained from control group participants, although 3-month follow-up data were not available for the control group. Outcome variables included pain intensity, coping strategy usage, pain beliefs/appraisals, and perceived life stressors. Results: Although decreases in pain intensity were observed in both the treatment and wait-list control groups, the intervention was found to result in fewer maladaptive beliefs about pain and greater use of relaxation, which is considered to be an adaptive coping strategy. Conclusions: Although some treatment benefits were identified (e.g. change in pain-related beliefs), future research should test the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioural treatment program tailored for seniors with participants who are experiencing higher pain intensities than those reported by our sample (i.e. those who experience a higher level of pain at baseline may represent a more suitable sample for assessing the effectiveness of our intervention in reducing pain intensity).

Aims and Method
Objective and subjective lithium compliance was investigated in 30 out-patients attending at an affective disorders clinic. Possible precursors of compliance levels were investigated; namely lithium knowledge and attitudes, patient satisfaction and dosage of lithium administered.
ResultsAll patients were defined as currently compliant. Patients with a previous history of non-compliance were exclusively diagnosed with manic depression. Patient satisfaction, lithium knowledge and attitudes were not good predictors of lithium compliance.
Clinical ImplicationsCompliance with lithium can remain excellent in the presence of moderate lithium knowledge and poor attitudes. Poor attitude towards lithium worsens with years on medication, despite high levels of compliance. Clinicians should be aware that larger prescribed dosages of lithium may be associated with poorer compliance.

Recent discussion has emphasized the importance of assessments of clinical significance of outcome in treatment outcome studies. Several methods exist to assess clinical significance, one of which is the use of global ratings of outcome. This study reports the use of such measures in a treatment outcome study investigating pharmacological and psychological treatments for panic disorder and agoraphobia in primary care. Outcome is reported in terms of global ratings of symptom severity and of change in symptoms following treatment, completed by the psychologist, referring General Practitioners (GPs) and patients. Treatments involving cognitive behaviour therapy showed greater efficacy than those employing pharmacological treatments alone. Considerable agreement was demonstrated between psychologist and patient ratings. Such agreement was much less obvious for ratings completed by referring GPs. Possible reasons for this are advanced.
