Psychological Care in Old Age (Hardcover)

The idea for writing this book came from two sources - training care staff in the psychological management of elderly patients and secondly, attempting to help those relatives looking after an elderly person themselves. The book therefore has a twofold purpose. Aimed at both the professional and the home carer, this book summarizes current psychological knowledge as accurately as possible and tries to avoid being either too pessimistic or unrealistically optimistic.
