| Annotation | The authors - who are mainly from the US - explore the biology, psychology, epidemiology and sociology of depression and suicidal behaviour in late life, as well as the ethical principles that underlie clinical research and therapeutic intervention. The range of treatment - including environmental manipulation, psychotherapy, family counselling, medications and electroconvulsive therapy - is reviewed, and guidelines for effective interventions are provided. |
