Edition 1 , 2009 , AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC PUBLISHING INC
Written for psychiatrists seeing people with dementia in outpatient, inpatient, and long-term care settings, this reference places the dementia syndromes within the perspective of world health. It provides information on evaluation and diagnosis of dementia, describes the different types of dementias, covers pharmacological treatment and behavioral management, and discusses caregiving, legal, and ethical issues. A final section looks into the future of biomarkers for the dementias, the molecular and genetic basis of Alzheimer's disease, and prevention. About 55 pages of appendices offer forms, inventories, assessment scales, and a list of national and state agencies and organizational resources. Notes on contributors include disclosure of interests in commercial supporters, manufacturers, NGOs, and government agencies. Weiner teaches psychiatry and neurology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Lipton teaches in the Department of Neurology at the Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas.
