The range of chapters provides a comprehensive examination of the area of geriatric psychiatry, truly distinguishing it as a unique field and not just as an application of general psychiatry to the geriatric patient... an excellent addition to the literature on geriatric psychiatry. As a physician dually trained in internal medicine and psychiatry who also completed a geriatric medicine fellowship, I will be recommending this book to all of my colleagues in geriatric medicine, geriatric psychiatry, general psychiatry, family practice, and even internists in primary care.
