Overview

Study Guide to Geriatric Psychiatry is a question-and-answer companion that allows you to evaluate your mastery of the subject matter as you progress through The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry, Third Edition. The Study Guide is made up of 211 questions divided into 32 individual quizzes of 5-10 questions each that correspond to chapters in the Textbook. Questions are followed by an Answer Guide that references relevant text (including the page number) in the Textbook to allow quick access to needed information. Each answer is accompanied by a discussion that not only addresses the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct. The Study Guide's companion, the third edition of The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry is designed to provide both scholar and clinician with the current state of scientific understanding and the practical skills and knowledge base required for understanding mental disorders in late life. This volume's 54 scholars represent an eclectic mix of distinguished psychiatrists and colleagues from relevant biomedical and behavioral disciplines. Covering both important psychiatric disorders and normal aging changes, this popular compendium, considered the standard in the field, has been scientifically reviewed and updated for the third edition, with seven new chapters that examine the neuropsychological assessment of dementia; movement disorders in the elderly; personality disorders; agitation and suspiciousness; electroconvulsive therapy; working with the family of the older adult; and legal, ethical, and policy issues.
