Phillip is a 69-year-old man who has recently retired from being a

school principal. Phillip was quite proud of his career and work ethic

and is finding the transition to retirement to be quite tough. He is

feeling lost with nothing to do and nowhere to go every day. He says

that he knows he should be enjoying his retirement but that he doesnot know how.

Do you think cognitive behavioural therapy would be appropriate for Phillip? Why or why not?
