The renowned Principles and Practice of Geriatric
Psychiatry, now in its third edition, addresses the social and
biological concepts of geriatric mental health from an
international perspective. Featuring contributions by distinguished
authors from around the world, the book offers a distinctive angle
on issues in this continually developing discipline.
Principles and Practice of Geriatric Psychiatry provides
a comprehensive review of:
* geriatric psychiatry spanning both psychiatric and
non-psychiatric disorders
* scientific advances in service development
* specific clinical dilemmas
New chapters on:
* genetics of aging
* somatoform disorders
* epidemiology of substance abuse
* somatoform disorders
* care of the dying patient
Continuing the practice of earlier editions, the major sections
of the book address aging, diagnosis and assessment and clinical
conditions, incorporating an engaging discussion on substance abuse
and schizophrenic disorders. Shorter sections include the
presentation of mental illness in elderly people from different
cultures–one of the most popular sections in previous
editions. Learning and behavioural studies, as well as models of
geriatric psychiatry practice, are covered extensively. This book
provides a detailed overview of the entire range of mental illness
in old age, presented within an accessible format.
Principles and Practice of Geriatric Psychiatry is an
essential read for psychiatrists, geriatricians, neurologists and
psychologists. It is of particular use for instructors of general
psychiatry programs and their residents.
