| dc.description.abstract | Broad in scope and with global appeal, the Oxford Textbook of Old Age Psychiatry, Second Edition, is the definitive resource on psychiatry in later life. It comprehensively covers the latest knowledge on the science and practice of treating later life mental disorders, and focuses on the health and social issues that arise around ageing, dementia, co-morbidity, dependency, and the end of life in progressively ageing societies across the world. Previously published as the much-loved Psychiatry in the Elderly, this new edition includes twelve months' access to the concurrent online version including the full text, links from references to external sources, and the ability to download all figures and illustrations into PowerPoint, ensuring that it remains the leading text on old age psychiatry in the field. Written in a clear and authoritative style, this edition covers the underpinning basic science (both neurobiological and social), clinical practice, and specific disorders, as well as providing information on psychiatric services'for older people, and medico-legal and ethical issues that often present challenges for those treating older patients. Taking a global approach by highlighting both the common burdens and the differences in management from country to country and with a much expanded cast of contributors providing a truly international perspective, this volume includes information on all the latest improvements and changes in the field. New chapters are included to reflect the development of old age care, covering palliative care, the ethics of caring, and living and dying with dementia. Existing chapters have also been revised and updated throughout and additional information is included on brain stimulation therapies, memory clinics and services, and mental capacity and decision-making. Providing extensive coverage and written by experts the field, the second edition of the Oxford Textbook of Old Age Psychiatry is an essential resource; no old age psychiatrist, trainee, or anyone working in the field of mental health care for older people should be without a copy on their bookshelf.
