Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) was developed in the 1960s. Over the last 50 years it has become one of the most widely used forms of psychotherapy. 

The rapid and extensive adoption of CBT is largely the result of strong empirical support for its effectiveness when treating patients suffering from a wide range of mental disorders. In addition, CBT is a relatively short-term treatment that can be administered effectively to individuals, couples, families, or groups. 

Late-life depression (LLD) is a heterogeneous disorder that can be broadly defined as depression in individuals age 60 and older. It is associated with several public health concerns, including increased mortality rates, physical disability, functional decline, increased health care utilization, and increased suicide rate.[1-3]

WorkSafeBC medical advisors (MAs) and nurse advisors (NAs) are a valuable resource for physicians with injured worker patients. 

MAs and NAs review clinical information relevant to WorkSafeBC claims, and while MAs occasionally examine injured workers, they do not replace the primary treating physician.
