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 fourth section examines whether symptoms respond to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, and covers the following: antipsychotic treatment in outpatients with dementia; community-based research on behavioural symptoms in dementia; nursing home research on treatment; meta-analysis of controlled pharmacological trials.
