Oxford University Press has just published the new edition of Robin Jacoby
and Catherine Oppenheimer's classic book of old age psychiatry.
The book retains the coherent structure of previous editions, approaching
the topic under the section headings of basic science, clinical practice,
psychiatric services and specific disorders. However, within this logical
structure the editors have conducted a major revision, bringing in a number
of new authors and covering the full range of new research. The exciting
developments in the field of molecular biology are covered as are the
improvements in our understanding of the pathogenesis of the dementias,
specifically, although not limited to Alzheimer's Disease.
Publication: February 2002, price £59.50
