Aging & Mental Disorders (Psychological Approaches to Assessment & Treatment) Paperback - 1980

by Steven H. Zarit; Contribution by Robert M. Tager


From the publisher

A health worker confuses an older patient's reversible brain disorder with senility--and labels it hopeless. A counselor sees a seventy-year-old woman's depression as a function of her age--and dismisses her complaints that her children don't respect her. A therapist avoids treating sexual dysfunction in a sixty-five-year-old man, mistakenly believing that treatment can't help.

"Aging and Mental Disorders" should help dispel some of these too-common myths and misconceptions about the elderly. Widely acclaimed and enthusiastically reviewed, it gives professionals the knowledge and insights they need to meet the challenge of working with the aged.

First line

OLD AGE HAS BEEN THE NEGLECTED PHASE of the human life cycle in the behavior sciences, including the mental health professions of social work, psychiatric nursing, clinical psychology, and psychiatry.
