Description
Book Synopsis Advancing the Research Agenda for DSM-V, Diagnostic Issues in Dementia comprises nine chapters with research suggestions for consideration for the upcoming DSM-V process, reflecting the nascent effort toward a new diagnostic nomenclature in the still rapidly evolving field of dementia.
Trade ReviewThis book, which was first published in the Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neurology, is an interesting view into the DSM process for the dementia diagnoses. Neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatric psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, and behavioral neurologists would be interested in this book.
