Descriptions

Flying in the face of the perceived wisdom that special expertise is required to treat mental health issues in older adults, DSM-5 Pocket Guide for Elder Mental Health offers the thoughtful, practical real-world advice that primary care practitioners, clinical psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychiatric residents, and resident fellows need to work effectively with this patient population. Clinically focused chapters employ memorable cases, handy mnemonics, and informative tables as they explain how to perform 15- and 30-minute diagnostic interviews; recognize the main elements of the most common mental health disorders; engage patients in psychosocial, psychotherapeutic, and psychopharmacological treatment plans; and know when to refer patients for additional subspecialty mental health treatment. With expert consensus threaded throughout, DSM-5 Pocket Guide for Elder Mental Health is the ideal companion for trainees and seasoned professionals alike, who will find the information they need to efficiently and effectively employ DSM-5 as part of comprehensive diagnostic interview and treatment planning for their older patients.
