Written by practitioners and scientists, 16 contributions provide an overview of the current state of knowledge about schizophrenia in later life and examine the implications for treatment, research, and policy. The focus is on those persons who develop schizophrenia early in life. Topics include, for example, the differential diagnosis of psychotic disorders in the elderly, the effects of chronic medication exposure on the biological features of schizophrenia, and gender differences in the expression of the disease across the life span. Cohen teaches geriatric psychiatry at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
