November 19, 2001
This book provides helpful insight into the mental disorders that afflict many elderly people. This can be useful to both educators and family members who are concerned about mental illness affecting the elderly. Teachers and professors can use this to help prepare family studies and human development students for problems that they may encounter in their work. Furthmore, families that are dealing with aging parents or loved ones can use this book to help understand what is going on and how to deal with them in a caring way.
