RT Journal A1 Prabhakar D T1 ESsentials of geriatric psychiatry JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2012 FD November 14 VO 308 IS 18 SP 1926 OP 1927 DO 10.1001/jama.308.18.1926 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.308.18.1926 AB Essentials of Geriatric Psychiatry attempts to educate health care professionals and psychiatrists interested in the diagnosis and management of elderly persons with psychiatric conditions. The book consists of a preface and 20 chapters divided into 4 sections. It is based on The Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry, also edited by Dan Blazer and David Steffens. In the past I have found the textbook to be an excellent resource for comprehensive review.
