Reviews
"A ground-breaking book that is certain to become a classic in the field. It is well written and highly informative, and it brings the latest material on research and treatment of the disorder to therapists and administrators of homes for older people who are depressed as well as to confused families and caretakers...It is a model of how clear and exciting academic writing can be when written by knowledgeable professionals who are gifted writers. The book is highly recommended for all who are connected in any way with an elder person who is depressed and for students of all schools of psychology."
