| Annotation | An international conference was convened by the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) in April 1996, Lansdowne, Virginia, to review the current knowledge of behavioural disturbances of dementia and to reach consensus in five areas: nosology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and research directions. This special issue contains the papers in summary format, as well as the ensuing discussions, presented at the conference. This first section focuses on aetiology, covering the following topics: clinicopathologic and neurochemical correlates of major depression and psychosis in primary dementia; neurochemistry and neurotransmitters; neuropathology of psychotic symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD); neuroimaging and the origin of psychiatric symptoms in dementia; circadian rhythm-related behavioural disturbances and structural hypothalamic changes in AD; the application of self-psychology to understanding patients with AD; environmental and social aspects of behavioural disturbances in dementia; and caregiver issues.
