The St Vincent's Hospital Handbook of Clinical Psychogeriatrics,
edited by A/Prof David Burke and Ms Ayse Burke, is a thorough and
practical guide to the multidisciplinary, integrated hospital and
community care of older people with mental health problems and
illnesses. The St Vincent's Hospital Psychogeriatric Mental Health
Service has over the past 10 years developed an efficient and
effective model of service delivery that is integrated,
cooperative, multidisciplinary, and team-based. This approach
facilitates seamless patient management in partnership with the
patient's general practitioner, family, and other care providers.
This handbook is a valuable tool for all healthcare professionals
and students wanting to learn about the assessment and management
of older people with mental health problems and illnesses. All
health-related clinicians that are either training or already
working with older people, in general practice or residential aged
care, and in other branches of medicine, psychology, nursing,
social work, or occupational therapy will appreciate the ordered
and thorough approach to hospital and community psychogeriatric
care presented in the handbook. The array of multidisciplinary
backgrounds of the authors and the integrated model of care that
centers on team management, collaboration and a holistic approach,
make this a unique reference tool. The St Vincent's Hospital
Handbook of Clinical Psychogeriatrics presents practical,
evidence-based, best-practice advice and guidance (incorporating
DSM-V) for psychogeriatric care across a wide range of relevant
topics. The Handbook chapters are: 1. Multidisciplinary Team
Management; 2. Clinical Emergencies; 3. Delirium; 4. Psychotic
Disorders; 5. Mood Disorders; 6. Anxiety Disorders; 7. Cognitive
Impairment and Dementia; 8. Neuroimaging; 9. Neuropsychological
Assessment; 10. Capacity Assessment and Guardianship; 11.
Psychopharmacology; 12. Psychotherapy; 13. Behaviour Management in
Dementia; 14. Independent Living and Placement; 15. Healthy Ageing;
16. Family and Carer Stress; 17. Grief and Bereavement; 18. Squalor
