This book updates articles previously published in BJPsych Advances to compile a current review of noteworthy subjects in old age psychiatry. It opens with epidemiology, then offers information and advice about a variety of disorders, including rare and unusual dementias. It considers assessment, from cognitive testing and the use of neuroimaging, to newer issues around biomarkers. Turning to treatment and management, the book provides readers with up-to-date evidence-based guidance on common situations that clinicians face, from home assessments to giving advice about driving. It refreshingly discusses self-management and the notion of recovery; it reviews the literature on psychosocial interventions and palliative care; and it tackles delirium and depression. The final chapters explore related legal, ethical, and philosophical issues. Written for old age psychiatrists and trainees, but also relevant to other health and social care workers, this text shows the excitement of old age psychiatry - its importance, breadth, and depth.

The colour thief of Bristol is a book about two friends, Alba and Evie, who live in the colourful streets of Bristol. One day a mean looking man comes to their fun and vibrant school and visits their headmistress. After the visit she looks uncharacteristically angry and stern and then proceeds to take all the colour and fun out of their school. When they hear that something similar has happened at their friend's school, they race around Bristol following the man, hoping to stop him and return the colour to their school. They follow him through the city, bumping into more friends. After losing him on a hot air balloon they think of a way to find him again and then track him back to his house. Here, they discover that the villain, rather than being bad, was sad all along. He took the colour out of schools as the sound of children's laughter reminded him of his horrible childhood. Alba and Evie heal him with their warmth and the three of them return the colour to Bristol. This book considers how childhood shapes a person and invites the child to think about why someone may do bad things and to consider the healing effect of being around kindness and warmth.
