The Geropsychology field has progressed through a series of developmental tasks to define the competencies needed to practice with older adults (Knight, et al, 2009), which serve as the foundation for the development of cultural competencies for working with older adults. The developmental tasks include specification of guidelines for practice, a conference at which the geropsychology training model was outlined, publication of the competencies, and the formation of a council of training programs. Each step in the process provided building blocks for subsequent steps.
