This volume represents the proceedings of a Symposium on
Psychopharmacology and the Aging Patient, held at Duke University,
May 29-31, 1972. The conference was jointly sponsored by the Center
for the Study of Aging and Human Development and the Department of
Psychiatry at Duke. This Symposium was the first in a series of
conferences which will be devoted variously to preclinical and
clinical pharmacology of the different groups of psychotropic
drugs, especially as they relate to the problems of the elderly
patient and to the special considerations that must be given in
theory and in practice to changes brought about by the process of
aging. The idea behind this particular symposium was to bring basic
and clinical scientists together with practicing clinicians and
other mental health professionals for an exchange of ideas and
interests through formal didactic and informal small sessions. The
major interest, of course, was to disseminate current information
on the clinical use and indication for psychoactive agents,
particularly as they related to the elderly patient. Recognition
and management of psychiatric syndromes of the elderly were
included as they were pertinent to psychopharmacology of aging to
indicate the direction of ongoing work and to stimulate further
research in this area. The editors wish to gratefully acknowledge
the generous financial support xiii xiv Foreword of the Symposium
