"The book is indeed concise (it can be read rapidly in about 2 hours), and it covers all the questions and problems I see on a daily basis in my geriatric work. The book is coherent and orderly: a first chapter on basic issues and chapters 2 though 7 on depression, mania, anxiety, sleep disorders, dementia, and agitation and psychosis. In the appendix are two very useful tables listing medical drugs that interact with psychiatric drugs and drug interactions among psychiatric drugs. Psychiatrists involved in geriatric practice could consult this information daily....I found this concise guide to very readable and useful. I now carry it with me to work."--American Journal of Psychiatry
"Dr. Carl Salzman...is a role model and a pioneer in generating interest in geriatric psychopharmacology among psychiatrists and emphasizing that the frontier is very much at our doorstep." --Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

"This cohesive, well-written handbook will suit a range of practitioners. From Carl Salzman, the foremost expert in geriatric psychopharmacology, the book provides a coherent overview of fundamental principles and issues. Its concise, heuristic case examples do an excellent job of explicating typical presentations, therapeutic approach, treatment, and outcomes. In addition to practitioners, it will serve as a useful text for graduate students across the health-related professions." --Lon S. Schneider, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Gerontology, Department of Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences, University of Southern California School of Medicine
"In this cogent, readable handbook, Salzman combines evidence-based medicine with the experience of an astute clinician. Well organized and readily applicable to the clinical situation, this book will be of significant practical use for mental health professionals and gerontologists. It will be equally important to academicians and researchers as an example of the thoughtful application of clinical research to the treatment of patients." --Steven P. Roose, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
"This is an exceptionally well-written book on a topic of increasing importance. Salzman is one of the best-known geriatric psychopharmacologists in the country, and the present volume is the culmination of years of experience as a clinician, researcher, and educator. The result is an eminently readable, highly informative book. The case vignettes are particularly interesting and add a real-life quality to the understanding of the use of medications in older patients. I would recommend this book to all health care providers who work with older people suffering from psychiatric disorders." --Dilip V. Jeste, MD, Division of Geriatric Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego
