Current psychiatric research is dominated by taxonomies that emphasize the discontinuities and differences between diseases rather than continuities and similarities. The authors of this book posit the view that much more can be learned from taking a broad, dimensional view of neurotic disorders in elderly people rather than by adopting the narrow, categorical approach of, for example, the DSM classifications. To this end the book is organized by areas of interest: epidemiology; clinical assessment and diagnosis; the clinical relationship with physical ill-health; psychosocial factors; psychological treatment, both behavioral and dynamic; and physical treatments. In addition there are chapters on personality, alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders, sex, and sleep in the elderly. Disturbances and disorders in these areas frequently aggravate and complicate neurotic disorders in old age, and it is important that they are considered in this context. The development of comprehensive community psychogeriatric services is increasingly bringing neurotic disorders in elderly people to professional notice, and consequently there is a need for a much better understanding of their diagnosis and management. This book will help any psychiatrist improve their skills in this area and improve the quality of care they provide their elderly patients.
