The new edition of this definitive book on dementia has been fully
updated to reflect the huge advances in our knowledge and
understanding of the disorder since the publication of the 2nd
edition in 2000. The incidence of dementia continues to rise as the
world's population ages and a huge increase in cases is predicated
over the next 25 years. The book has been radically restructured and
updated with the addition of many new chapters. Dementia 3e
represents an internationally-authors 'gold standard' work on this
important and catastrophic group of diseases. This is an essential
work of reference for specialists in old age psychiatry, neurology
and health care of the elderly. It should also be a useful resource
for others working with patients with dementia, including primary
health care doctors, family practitioners, nursing staff,
psychologists, and other allied health professionals.
