内容説明

The field of dementia has grown considerably in recent years due to expanding research interest combined with the need to develop health services for an increasingly ageing population. This book is split into logical sections covering general aspects of dementia including history, assessment and diagnosis, investigations, management and international services, as well as specific disorders. This timely new edition covers new developments in areas of clincial diagnosis, neuroimaging, genetics and therapeutics as well as legal and ethical issues.
