| Annotation | This issue opens with three reviews covering two decades of work at the SPRU (the Social Psychiatry Research Unit of Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council), the development of public policy on dementia, and the neglected issue of dementia in descendents of Australia's original population. Ten research papers illustrate the breadth of activity in geriatric psychiatry in Australia. The concluding section focuses on the maturation of the Anglo-Australian relationship in the post-Keating era with two British views of geriatric psychiatry in Melbourne, and two accounts of Australians' experiences in London. Attention is drawn to similarities and differences in practice. |
