Abstract
Every student of medical or behavioral sciences knows of the &ldquo;biological imperative&rdquo; to learn about aging (ie, increased survival in late life and the advance of the baby boomer generation onto the geriatric stage dictate that older individuals will make up an increasing proportion of the population for decades to come). Medicine in general has come to pay attention to the biological processes of aging, the nature of illnesses in the elderly, and the idiosyncrasies of treatment with older patients. Psychiatry has tracked closely the importance of dementias and depression in later life.<sup><a href="EditorPage.aspx?da=core&amp;id=%7bA932AC25-CB6C-41F0-887A-1F74731AC343%7d&amp;ed=FIELD17595849&amp;vs&amp;la=en&amp;fld=%7b0B37FA8E-B2A6-4AE9-8E4F-53651D5CB226%7d&amp;so=%2fsitecore%2fsystem%2fsettings%2fhtml+editor+profiles%2frich+text+healio&amp;di=0&amp;hdl=H17595923&amp;us=sitecore%5cadmin&amp;mo&amp;pe=0#x00485713-20090821-04-bibr1">1</a></sup>
