内容説明
Behavioral Complications in Alzheimer's Disease is the first book to focus exclusively on Alzheimer's disease and on the noncognitive disturbances associated with this disease. It centers on the emerging data regarding the biology of the illness.
The book provides clinicians with practical management strategies for the identification, measurement, and treatment of behavioral symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Behavioral Complications in Alzheimer's Disease also informs the nonspecialist and trainee about important new findings. The liberal use of case histories and illustrations makes this a valuable reference text.
