5.0 out of 5 starsA Valuable Overview
By Susan J. Bartmon on August 7, 2006
Format: Paperback
I recently started working as an LPN in long term care and I have found this to be most valuable in providing me with a basis for understanding the many types of dementia and mental illness with which my residents are struggling. I highly recommend this work to anyone working or living with an elderly person.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery thorough discussion
By K. Corts on September 25, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I purchased this book as a primer in geriatric mental health care and it was the perfect choice for my needs. The author is very thorough in examining the myriad of disorders and psychosocial struggles for senior adults while presenting the information in a readable format. As a social worker preparing to add geriatric mental health to my professional practice, I believe this book provides me with the knowledge I need to best care for my clients.

5.0 out of 5 starsHighly recommend for most settings
By Elaine Buxton on February 17, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Very well written and practical. Highly recommend it. I read it cover to cover and go back to refer to on relevant topics. I am a family nurse practitioner with years of psychiatric experience but learned some new approaches and considerations from this book, including medications. Should be on everyone's bookshelf. Works well on the KIndle edition too.
