By 2050, the number of people aged sixty years and older with
schizophrenia is expected to double and affect about 10 million
people worldwide. Psychoses are among the most common experiences
in later life, with a lifetime risk of 23 percent. As a result,
there is a looming crisis in mental health care. Schizophrenia and
Psychoses in Later Life is the first major multidisciplinary
reference on these important disorders. The book provides
guidelines for clinical care, research and policy that are
consistent with the emerging paradigmatic changes occurring with
respect to schizophrenia in later life. This book features
multidisciplinary contributions from experts in the fields of
biological psychiatry, social psychiatry, sociology, anthropology,
social work, psychology, and neuropsychology that will help
professionals to integrate services and attain the best outcomes.
The text will guide psychiatrists, psychologists, gerontologists,
policymakers, and social scientists in creating innovative new
programs to help this underserved and growing population.
