This book focuses on language and communication issues with older
people with mental health problems. Radically revised and
updated from the authors’ earlier book, ‘Communication
Disability and the Psychiatry of Old Age’, this book
recognizes that language and communication is not just the business
of speech and language therapy but is relevant to all staff
involved with people who have mental health difficulties.
This book focuses on what older people with mental health
difficulties require to maintain their independence and to minimize
the effects of degenerative disease processes for as long as
possible from a speech and language perspective.
* Relevant to all members of the multidisciplinary team involved
within older people’s mental health services
* Each chapter is evidence-based and factual
* Reflects the substantial advances in the diagnosis and
treatment of dementias
