Geriatric Mental Health Care: A Treatment Guide for Health Professionals

Abstract

The cover leaf indicates this book as intended for “mental health practitioners, primary care providers, and other health professionals without advanced training in geriatric psychiatry.” In the preface, the author indicates that, “Although there are a number of excellent geriatric mental health texts, none is written expressly for generalists in primary care and mental health, who represent the majority of practitioners providing care for older Americans with mental illness.”
