The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Neuropsychiatry

Our elderly patients, who suffer from neurological disorders such as traumatic brain injury, dementia, Parkinson disease, and cerebrovascular disease, must have physicians who know that the presentation, evaluation and treatment differ from the usual patient care. With the recognition that neuropsychiatry (with behavioral neurology) is a subspecialty with a specific knowledge base and perspective, the impressive group of experts assembled for the Textbook of Geriatric Neuropsychiatry provide the foundation for providing quality and cutting-edge care to our patients. --Jonathan M. Silver, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine, Fellow, American Neuropsychiatric Association, Diplomate, Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry, New York, NY

Concise and organized for easy reference, the popular Textbook of Geriatric Neuropsychiatry, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric and behavior disorders in aging patients with impaired brain function. This edition equips readers with a fresh understanding of the latest neuroscience research as it relates to the health care of aging patients with neuropsychiatric illness.

The arrival of this updated text addresses two pressing realities: the optimal care needed for an increasingly aging population -- and the groundbreaking advancements in neuroscience research and diagnostic improvements in brain imaging that can greatly aid their treatment and care. This relevant text is highly recommended for psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, geriatricians, psychiatric nurses, residents and fellows, and other clinicians interested in the study and treatment of the effects of aging on the brain.
