The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry, a comprehensive resource spanning over two decades and five editions, has firmly established itself as a cornerstone in the field of geriatric psychiatry. This latest edition maintains the multidisciplinary and developmental approach of its predecessors, drawing upon the expertise of psychiatrists, biomedical experts, and behavioral specialists to provide the most comprehensive patient care approach. Extensively revised to reflect the latest scientific advancements and clinical developments, the textbook offers readers the most up-to-date information on phenomenology, diagnosis, and assessment of late-life mental disorders. It also provides access to the latest research on psychotherapeutic, psychopharmacological, and other somatic treatments.
A dedicated chapter explores the role of technology, including digital phenotyping, wearables, digital and Web-based neurocognitive testing, and more, in supporting the geriatric mental health workforce and enhancing access to care and ongoing support. Throughout the book, several sections candidly examine the impact of COVID-19, and its attendant social isolation, on older adult mental health and the evolution of treatment approaches. Chapters on the legal and ethical factors in the psychiatric care of older adults close out the book, offering the most exhaustive coverage of the topic.
Packed with extensive research and featuring key points for easy reference, this edition equips both scholars and clinicians with the current state of scientific understanding and the practical skills and knowledge base needed to effectively deal with mental disorders in the geriatric population.
