| 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 fifth section looks at clinical perspectives of behavioural and psychological disturbances in dementia, and covers the following: delusions; misidentifications; agitation, wandering, restlessness, and repetitive mannerisms; disinhibition, apathy, indifference, fatigability, complaining and negativism; emotional ability, intrusiveness, and catastrophic reactions; depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances; falling, hoarding, hiding, eating disturbances and sexual disinhibition; differentiating behavioural disturbances from symptoms of delirium and from drug side effects; behavioural disturbances of dementia in the nursing home and in ambulatory care settings; and vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
