Reviews / Votes
'In its fifth edition, it was first published more than 30 years ago, when old-age psychiatry was establishing itself as a discrete speciality. It is described as 'a book light enough to read for pleasure but heavy enough to be used as a clinican's main textbook' and I would concur with that. It is a useful update to literature on this subject and should be of interest to individuals working in this field.' Claire Chatterton, staff tutor, faculty of health and social care, The Open University, UK, Nursing Older People JournalMore details
