Description
A concise primer to understanding the fundamentals of elderly mental health care. As the client population ages, more general psychiatrists are being called upon to care for elderly patients. This authoritative, quick reference on geriatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment issues--including memory impairment, Alzheimer's, dementia, depression, psychosis, substance abuse, and more--is the ideal companion for non-specialized practitioners.
