The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Geriatric Psychiatry
The book is the definitive text on diagnosing and treating mental disorders among the elderly. It is a single authoritative volume that includes both the basic scientific knowledge and the practical clinical skills necessary for working with this growing population.
Clinical Manual of Geriatric Psychiatry
Clinical Manual of Geriatric Psychiatry is a concise reference that contains the most current information on psychiatric diagnoses seen in older patients, from delirium and dementia to schizophrenia and sleep disorders. The authors present clinically relevant information and evidence-based treatments for a wide range of disorders, as well as cover the psychiatric interview of older adults, psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and clinical psychiatry in the nursing home, providing a complete and well-rounded reference for the field. Each chapter is broken into specific, easily digestible sections, replete with tables, and includes references and suggested readings. Written by experts in geriatric psychiatry, this clinical manual provides a much-needed “field guide” for the care of older adults and nursing home patients.

Toward a Sociological Theory of Religion and Health
Driven by funding agencies, empirical research in the social scientific study of health and medicine has grown in quantity and developed in quality. When it became evident, in what is now a tradition of inquiry, that people’s religious activities had significant health consequences, a portion of that body of work began to focus more frequently on the relationship between health and religion. The field has reached a point where book-length summaries of empirical findings, especially those pertinent to older people, can identify independent, mediating, and dependent variables of interest. Every mediating variable, even if considered as a “control” variable, represents an explanation, a small theory of some kind. However, taken in granular form, as it were, the multiple theories do not comprise mid-level theory, let alone a general theoretical framework. This volume seeks to move toward more general theoretical development. Contributors include: Alex Bierman, Sherry Cummings, Christopher G. Ellison, Andrea K. Henderson, Barbara Kilbourne, Neal Krause, Jeff Levin, Robert S. Levine, Eric Liu, Michael K. Roemer, Scott Schieman, and Ephraim Shapiro.
Ministry with Persons with Mental Illness and Their Families, Second Edition
Those who are afflicted as well as those who are adversely affected by mental illness often live lives of "quiet desperation" without recourse to appropriate assistance. Most caregivers confronted with these illnesses in the work of ministry have had no training or accurate information about mental illnesses, so frequently they do nothing, resulting in further harm and damage. Others may operate out of a theological system that does not adequately account for the nature, severity, or treatment of these illnesses. In Ministry with Persons with Mental Illness and Their Families, Second Edition, psychiatrists and pastoral theologians come together in an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort to ensure accuracy of information concerning the medical dimensions of mental illness, interpret these illnesses from a faith perspective, and make suggestions relative to effective ministry. Readers will learn how science and a faith tradition can not only co-exist but work in tandem to alleviate the pain of the afflicted and affected.
The Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities
Social scientists have repeatedly uncovered a disturbing feature of economic inequality: people with larger incomes and better education tend to lead longer, healthier lives. This pattern holds across all ages and for virtually all measures of health, apparently indicating a biological dimension of inequality. But scholars have only begun to understand the complex mechanisms that drive this disparity. How exactly do financial well-being and human physiology interact? The Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities incorporates insights from the social and biological sciences to quantify the biology of disadvantage and to assess how poverty gets under the skin to impact health. Draw...
