Reviews

This is an important book. it will become the standard reference book for all major topics under the rubric of late-life depression. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, Vol 20 An outstanding 388-page textbook dedicated to the subject of depression in the elderly. What is remarkable about this book is that it strives to use an evidence-based approach to describe illness models and clinical treatments ... an excellent textbook that can be used as a clinical resource, a study aid for the boards, or a review of the evidence-based research in late-life depression. Journal of Clinical Psychiatry This book is "state of the art" ... The editors have brought together many of the leading researchers in the field to assemble an authoritative reference that will be useful for students, residents, practicing physicians, and mental health professionals in related fields. For a multiauthored textbook, Late-Life Depression is well organized, appropriately succinct, and clear. Those qualities in themselves are accomplishments. The great strength of the book is its medical and biologic orientation ... It will serve as an excellent resource for those seeking to understand the clinical varieties of the condition, relevant pathobiologic theories and correlates, and approaches to treatment.
