| Annotation | An international conference was convened by the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) in 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 third section looks at theories behind scales and measurements, and covers the following: Behavioral pathology in Alzheimer's Disease (BEHAVE-AD) Rating Scale; conceptualisations of agitation: results based on the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory and the Agitation Behavior Mapping Instrument; CERAD Behavior Rating Scale for Dementia; Caretaker Obstreperous Behavior Rating Scale; Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale; Dementia Mood Assessment Scale; Dysfunctional Behavior Rating Instrument; direct observation of behavioural disturbances of dementia and their environmental context; selecting outcome measures for clinical trials of behavioural disturbances of dementia.
