Description
Summary:•What is the primary question addressed by this study?•This commentary on the Kassel et al. study focuses on the targets for the development of psychosocial interventions for Late-Life Depression and Hoarding Disorder.•What is the main finding of this study?•The commentary extends the discussion of the Kassel et al. study to consider potential guidelines for adaptations of psychosocial interventions for older adults.•What is the meaning of the finding?•As research identifies factors that can impact the efficacy of psychosocial interventions in depressed older adults, the ways in which these interventions can be modified to take into account co-occurring conditions, such as hoarding behavior in the Kassel et al. study, and testing these interventions adequately, require focus on mechanisms of action and close adherence to the experimental therapeutics approach.
