Practical Psychiatry of Old Age, Fifth Edition cover

Multi-disciplinary in its approach, this book details key psychiatric conditions, their assessment and management in line with modern developments, including the latest developments in healthcare policy. It has been thoroughly revised to incorporate the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) Guidance.

Case studies are used throughout to aid comprehension and illustrate the realities of working in this area.

Now in its Fifth Edition, Practical Psychiatry of Old Age is ideal as a clinical primer for those in training, or as a day-to-day reference for healthcare professionals working with older people.

'In its fifth edition, it was first published more than 30 years ago, when old-age psychiatry was establishing itself as a discrete speciality. It is described as 'a book light enough to read for pleasure but heavy enough to be used as a clinican's main textbook' and I would concur with that. It is a useful update to literature on this subject and should be of interest to individuals working in this field.' Claire Chatterton, staff tutor, faculty of health and social care, The Open University, UK, Nursing Older People Journal
