Description

This definitive work on dementia and related disorders has been fully updated and revised to reflect recent advances in this fast-moving field.

In this, the most comprehensive single volume work available on the subject, the editors have met this challenge by assembling a team of the world's leading experts on all aspects of the condition, from history, epidemiology and social aspects to the latest neurobiological research and advanced therapeutic strategies.
