内容説明

This text brings together a group of experts in this emerging sub-speciality in order to offer a review of the field. Beginning with a breif historical overview, this volume addresses the ageing process, evaluation and diagnosis, and provides an overview of the major psychiatric disorders and their treatments. A section on medical, ethical and financial issues covers areas of practical concern to psychiatrists who treat elderly patients. This text aims to be useful to those psychiatrists working with the elderly and for those preparing to test for certification in this sub-speciality.
