Comprehensive Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry

From the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, this is the standard reference work on the subject. Each of the thirty-nine chapters is written by a leader in the field and organised in five sections: the ageing process; principles of evaluation and diagnosis; psychiatric disorders of the elderly; treatment; and medical-legal, ethical and financial issues. The study guide, organised in an annotated question-and-answer format, offers students the opportunity to test their knowledge of the concepts.
