"Overall, this book is a comprehensive overview of geriatric
psychiatry that covers all major clinical areas and stands out for
highlighting a historical perspective on mental illness in late
life. It is a valuable contribution to the literature and should be
of particular use to residents and trainees in geriatric
psychiatry. However the breadth of ground covered by the editors
also makes this book a useful reference guide for practicing
general and geriatric psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and
other health care proefessionals involved in caring for older
adults with mental illness" (The Journal of Nervous and Mental
Disease, 2012)
