Beschreibung
The older adult population is booming in the United State and across the globe. With this boom comes an increase in the number of older adults who experience psychological disorders. Current estimates suggest that about 20% of older persons are diagnosable with a mental disorder: Personality disorders are among the most poorly understood, challenging, and frustrating of these disorders among older adults. This book is designed to provide scholarly and scientifically-based guidance about the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of personality disorders to health professionals, mental health professionals, and senior service professionals who encounter personality-disordered or "difficult" older adults.
Rezensionen
"The foreword describes this book as the best of its kind in the field of personality disorders of the elderly. I fully agree and recommend it to practitioners, researchers, and educators. It should be required reading for graduate students in psychology and for those preparing for careers in mental health. It really is an outstanding book!"
--Norman Abeles (PsycCRITIQUES, August 15, 2007)
"The authors have provided a useful guide to understanding and treating older patients." (The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, volume 195, No 8, August 2007) The chapter on evolutionary theory and the development of personality disorders is especially creative and cutting-edge.
