Abstract
Geriatric psychiatry is an emerging clinical discipline devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric or behavior disorders in aging patients with disturbances of brain structure or function. . . . "The American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Geriatric Neuropsychiatry" bridges the fields of geriatric neurology and geriatric psychiatry and emphasizes the relationships that exist between neuropsychiatric illness and aging of the nervous system. The book is intended for health care professionals—psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, geriatricians, and other clinicians—who desire to understand and manage disturbed behavior in elderly patients through a comprehensive approach based on a thorough knowledge of contemporary neuroscience. [This text] endeavors to establish a link between the neurobiology of major psychiatric illness and the neurobiology of brain disorders that cause disturbed behavior in elderly individuals, and in so doing stimulate consideration of fundamental brain–behavior relationships.
