✦ Synopsis
of the other difficulties for the old age psychiatrist which is that for so many of the conditions we try to help patients and families deal with, there is precious little evidence for effective treatment.
This edition is slightly irritatingly peppered with minor editorial and proof reading errors. The indexing is one page awry from about half way through, there are quite a few spelling mistakes, and Diogenes syndrome went missing. He turns up 200 pages late. The authors deserve a second edition from the publishers to remedy these.
This book ought to be in every GP surgery, and on every general medical or surgical ward that might ever have an older patient. It would be useful reading for trainees approaching college examinations. Anyone specialising in old age will move beyond this book fairly quickly, but it will remain a useful quick guide when teaching or supervising trainees.
