Neurocognitive Disorders in Aging

"Neurocognitive Disorders in Aging offers an introduction to the common disorders that cause cognitive and related behavioral impairments in older people. The book prepares readers to readily identify abnormal behavior and make inferences about the underlying pathology, likely diagnoses, and possible treatment of those disorders. Throughout the book, author Daniel Kempler emphasizes the links between brain dysfunction, cognitive impairment, diagnosis, and treatment." "Neurocognitive Disorders in Aging is an introduction for students and professionals with no prior background in gerontology, medicine, or related fields, as well as those who have general knowledge of these topics but wish to learn more about specific disorders. It is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate courses in gerontology, clinical psychology, and neuropsychology. The book is also a reference for practitioners such as day-care and nursing-home workers, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, physicians, and nurses."--BOOK JACKET.
