Over the course of more than two decades and five previous
editions, The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook
of Geriatric Psychiatry has established itself as a foundational
resource in the field. This new edition retains the
multidisciplinary and developmental perspectives of its
predecessors, drawing on the knowledge not only of psychiatrists
but also of relevant biomedical and behavioral experts in order to
present the most comprehensive approach to patient care. It has
been extensively updated to reflect the latest scientific advances
and clinical developments in the field. Not only will readers find
the most up-to-date information on phenomenology, diagnosis, and
assessment of late-life mental disorders, they will also access the
latest research on psychotherapeutic, psychopharmacological, and
other somatic treatments. A dedicated chapter delves into the role
of technology-including digital phenotyping, wearables, digital and
Web-based neurocognitive testing, and more-in aiding the geriatric
mental health workforce and improving both access to care and
ongoing support. Throughout the book, several sections also
candidly examine the impact of COVID-19, and its attendant social
isolation, on older adult mental health and the evolution of
treatment approaches, revealing insights learned about
telepsychiatry and care in nursing homes during the pandemic.
Chapters on the legal and ethical factors in the psychiatric care
of older adults close out the book, the most exhaustive on the
topic. Extensively researched and with key points for ease of
reference, this edition will equip both the scholar and the
clinician with the current state of scientific understanding as
well as the practical skills and knowledge base required for
dealing with mental disorders in late life.
