As the baby boom generation ages, the number of people requiring
long-term care will grow dramatically in developed nations. A
majority of them will become increasingly frail and suffer from
dementia and associated neuropsychiatric symptoms.
Against this backdrop, Psychiatry in Long-Term Care, Second
Edition (first published under the title Psychiatric Care in the
Nursing Home) comprehensively reviews the present state of
knowledge on how to identify the major psychiatric disorders
affecting residents of long-term care facilities and how to
intervene. Edited and written by some of the world's foremost
authorities, the book provides in-depth coverage of topics such as
these:
- General approaches to assessment and treatment of behavioral
disturbances
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Dementia
- Sleep impairment
- Psychosis
- Substance use disorders
- Contemporary strategies for successful psychopharmacological and
psychotherapeutic interventions
Complementing these chapters with clinical guidelines on specific
disorders are chapters on medicolegal considerations, ethics, and
education of care staff.
The new edition is an important resource for care providers from
all disciplines devoted to improving the well being of people in
long-term care facilities and for students and scholars of mental
health and aging.
