The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry

For more than two decades, The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry has been the definitive text on diagnosing and treating mental disorders among the elderly. As with the earlier editions, this new fifth edition provides students, residents, nurses, psychiatrists, and long-term-care professionals with a single authoritative volume that includes both the basic scientific knowledge and the practical clinical skills necessary for working with this growing population. The book includes chapters on the most common mental disorders in the elderly written by leaders in geriatric psychiatry, gerontology, geriatric medicine, and geriatric nursing. In addition to being thoroughly revised to incorporate the most recent and reliable data available, the book is also DSM-5® concordant, reflecting the new structure and classifications clinicians must know to function in today’s health care environment. Replete with outlines, tables, recommended readings, and other useful features, the fifth edition of The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry contains the high-quality, up-to-the-minute diagnostic and treatment information clinicians have come to expect from this classic title.
