Therapeutics in Geriatric Neuropsychiatry

This handbook is unique in bridging the various levels of clinical geriatric psychiatry, giving readers an up-to-date account of the new drugs available and of how common neuromedical and psychiatric problems are approached in the elderly. The book has three distinct, but interrelated, themes: the neurodegenerative disorders--diagnosis and treatment; the psychiatric syndromes, and behavioural presentations; other disciplines--nursing and psychology. Each theme is discussed in detail, providing comprehensive and valuable information on matters arising in the daily work of professionals involved with this sector of the population.
