Infos

The continued rapid expansion of scientific knowledge abut ageing and the diseases of later life has altered the practice of geriatric psychiatry greatly since the first edition of "Geriatric Psychiatry" was published. Designed for the clinician, this work in its second edition provides a thorough grounding in the basic scientific knowledge and the applied clinical skills that are so needed in dealing with the mental disorders of late life. This volume covers not only the wide range of important mental diseases of late life, but also the biological and behavioural changes that occur with so-called "normal" ageing. The contributors - an eclectic group of well-known investigators, clinicians and scholars from the fields of psychiatry, biomedicine and behavioural science - have been chosen for their ability to present complex material in a manner that is understandable to health professionals and other interested/informed individuals.

Inhalt

The Basic Science of Geriatric Psychiatry; The Diagnostic Interview in Late Life; Psychiatric Disorders in Late Life; Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders in Late Life.
