Geriatric psychiatry is a relatively young discipline within the field of North American psychiatry. The development of a workforce to meet the needs of an aging population has been identified as an urgent priority, but there is still much we don’t know about fulfilling the mental health needs of older adults.
For Mark J. Rapoport, geriatric psychiatrists must assess and treat patients today in face of the limitations of what we know, but also be armed with enthusiasm to create novel ways of impacting on the quality of life of older patients with mental illness. The chapters in this book include case scenarios, concise point-form summaries of diagnostic and treatment approaches, up-to-date evidence syntheses, discussions of controversies, and a series of practical and thought-provoking questions and answers. Geriatric Psychiatry is a succinct and advanced review of geriatric psychiatry that will help clinicians improve the psychiatric care of an aging population.

Burhan, Associate Professor and Chair of Geriatric Psychiatry, Western University, and Adjunct Professor in Psychiatry, University of Toronto)"Geriatric Psychiatry Review and Exam Preparation Guide is a superb tool for review, reference, and further education regarding clinical management of older adults with mental disorders. The book succinctly conveys a great deal of clinically useful and up-to-date information across the spectrum of conditions now encompassed by old age psychiatry."
