| Summary: | This study investigated the effectiveness of structured techniques in improving the level of psychological adjustment of a 70-year old disengaged elderly. Prior to treatment, the client was anxious, worrisome and shy. The study employed the ABAB N of 1 or single case research design. The baseline behavior (A) was established three times: before, during and after the structured techniques. This was done by administering 16PF and Psychological Needs of the Aging. The treatment lasted for five weeks with a break of one week in the middle. Structured techniques improved the level of psychological adjustment of the client.
