Oxford Textbook of Old Age Psychiatry (3 edn)

Edited by Tom Dening, Alan Thomas, Robert Stewart, and John-Paul Taylor

Previous Edition (2 ed.)

Abstract

The Oxford Textbook of Old Age Psychiatry, Third Edition, has been thoroughly updated to keep pace with the developments that have taken place in old age psychiatry since publication of the Second Edition in 2013, including the publication of the DSM-5/ICD-11 classification criteria. The Third Edition also includes new chapters on the ageing brain; the experience of dementia; carers’ issues; biomarkers; and old age psychiatry in low- and middle-income countries. This is an essential reference for old age psychiatrists, geriatricians, and other clinicians who are interested in the mental health care of older people.
