David

With the rapid aging of the world's
population, psychiatry of old age
has become a crucial discipline.
This succinct guide to the scope and
practice of geriatric mental health
care provides an up-to-date summary
of existing knowledge, best practice
and future challenges for the
specialty, from a global
perspective. From definitions and
demography to epidemiology,
etiology, and principles of
assessment, diagnosis and
management, each chapter is sharp,
clear and practical, enhanced by
tables and diagrams for quick
assimilation and reference on the
ward or in the clinic. In addition
to the main psychiatric issues, the
book addresses legal and ethical
issues, and the neglected topic of
alcohol and drug abuse in the
elderly. Written by leading
clinicians, teachers and researchers
and offering a much-needed
international focus, this compact
guide is essential reading for
practicing psychiatrists,
neurologists, geriatricians and
other physicians providing geriatric
mental health care, as well as
trainees, nurses and medical
students.
