This state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary reference is the first
to assess the empirical research and conceptual frameworks for
understanding the mental health needs and services use of the
ethnic elderly. Leading scholars, researchers, and clinicians in
gerontology, epidemiology, psychiatry, psychology, sociology,
anthropology, nursing, and social work appraise varying approaches,
the demographics, the mental health status and service use of the
ethnic elderly, and issues in the diagnosis, treatment, and mental
health service delivery for the ethnic aged: for African Americans,
American Indians, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, and
Hispanic/Latino Americans. This unique handbook is a valuable
resource and text for students, teachers, and professionals in a
broad array of fields and settings.
The handbook considers such problems as Alzheimer's Disease,
depression and problems of coping, culturally specific psychosocial
nursing care programs, the role of culture and class in mental and
physical co-morbidity among the elderly, and important life-course
perspectives for specific groups. Students, teachers, and
professionals in many fields and settings will find this unique
handbook a valuable resource and text.
