The mental health needs of older people are all too often
overlooked or put down to the inevitable consequences of ageing.
This textbook will make it much easier for health, social care and
third sector workers to identify, treat and support the needs of
this population. The book takes an interdisciplinary team approach
and sets the scene by looking at different practice contexts in the
United Kingdom and the increasingly important role played by social
care in addressing the mental health needs of older people. A
number of more clinically focused chapters then cover: *mental
health promotion *anxiety and depression *ageing and psychosis
*alcohol and dual diagnosis *dementia *later life liaison services
*complex and enduring mood disorders. Each clinical chapter makes
use of extended and detailed case studies which illuminate the
team's role in the assessment- intervention-evaluation cycle and
ensure the text's application to practice. Service user and family
perspectives are drawn on throughout and current practice exemplars
outlined. The final chapter distils key messages from the book and
sets a number of key challenges. Mental Health and Later Life
highlights the rewards and complexity of working with older people
with mental health needs and their families. It is invaluable
reading for all those learning about, or working with, this
population.
