The nature and problems of old age are examined: emotional problems, functional disorders, and organic brain disorders. The section on evaluation, treatment and prevention includes: diagnostic evaluation; how to keep people at home; proper institutional care; psychotherapy and environmental therapy; and drug and electroshock therapy. What constitutes healthy, successful old age and its future are also discussed. (RH). |
