Description
Aging and Mental Health by Daniel L. Segal, Sara Honn Qualls, and Michael A. Smyer provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of aging and mental health. This fully updated third edition includes new updates and features, such as the impact of the DSM-5 on diagnosis and treatment of older adults. The book uses case examples to introduce readers to the field, alongside an analysis of several facets of aging well. It covers major theoretical models used to understand mental health and mental disorders among older adults, as well as the major forms of mental disorders in later life. The text also explores settings and contexts of professional mental health practice and emerging policy issues affecting research and practice. This combination of theory and practice helps readers conceptualize mental health problems in later life and navigate complex decisions involved with assessment and treatment.
