Extract

There has been an almost twentyfold increase in consultant psychogeriatricians in the UK in the past twenty years, and a comparable growth in the literature. In the early 1960s there were very few specifically psychogeriatric texts, and not all that many on related topics; now the reader is spoilt for choice.
