Title: Mental health and aging
Description: "Researchers describe effective mental health programmes for the aged, which are designed both for traditional settings and for more innovative circumstances. They describe and evaluate ways to help chronic and acute mental disorders, to provide preventative measures that concentrate on such factors as work or family, and finally ways to help train mental health workers. Each paper presents a clear rationale and conceptual foundation for the programme, describes the evaluation research designed to test it, and the results of that evaluation. The result is an intelligible presentation of a variety of programmes"--Publisher description.
