| Abstract
|
:
|
Geriatric medicine and old-age psychiatry interface in a variety of ways, but with old-age psychiatry becoming an increasing specialization, it is likely that clinicians in that discipline will not have had the advantage of exposure to general medicine - whether that be hospital-based geriatric medicine or general practice. Filling a gap in the market for a text uniting these two important fields, "Geriatric Medicine for Old-Age Psychiatrists" presents an up-to-date digest of current medical problems in the area. Providing guidance for the first line of patient management, the book concentrates upon common conditions and includes a number of helpful case vignettes. Written primarily by an experienced geriatrician, and informed by an old-age psychiatrist, this innovative text has a unique combination of author perspectives which come together to produce a valuable and insightful text.
