Alzheimer's Disease - A Medical Companion
This book takes a broad look at the management of this disease in the primary care setting, in which the majority of patients are treated, in order to encourage a thorough understanding and effective clinical approach.
The book first concentrates on the background to the disease, with chapters on its history, epidemiology, aetiology and biological basis. This is followed by detailed accounts of the clinical picture, the diagnostic process and management options, including pharmacological and non-drug (psychological) therapies. An overview on the services available to both the patient and carer is given, and the disease is discussed from the primary care angle.The book ends with a review of the legal and ethical implications of the condition and a look towards future research and clinical advances.
Alistair Burns and Robert Howard have drawn from their vast experience in old age psychiatry and, together with William Pettit's experience of the disease in primary care, have written a practical and up-to-date book, which will be an invaluable reference to general practitioners and psychiatrists wishing to know more about this subject.
