Reviews
“The editors and chapter authors have produced a very useful and practical guide for the care of the patient who presents with a geriatric psychiatric disorder. … This is a top-notch book covering a unique but important subject: the care of the geriatric psychiatry patient by a non-geriatric psychiatrist. Any physician who takes care of patients in this age group needs to be aware of the information in this very practical handbook. I highly recommend it.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2016)
