| Annotation | Published with the endorsement of the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA), this guide provides a summary of existing knowledge and best practice in geriatric psychiatry, making the subject accessible to generalists, clinicians not medically trained, and even patients and families. The main psychiatric conditions in old age are covered: the dementias; delirium, mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder and mania); schizophrenia; and neurotic and personality disorders. Also included are discussion of legal and ethical issues, and the neglected topics of alcohol and drug abuse in older people. (RH). |
