Reviews

"Segal, Qualls, and Smyer tackle the formidable problem of translating the entire DSM-5 into terms that are both specific to the aging population, but that also incorporate broader concepts in clinical psychology. ...The task of creating a syllabus is certainly made far more effi- cient with the availability of this text than would other- wise be the case. ... One might hope that the availability of this and other undergraduate and graduate texts in the field along with the growing population of older adults will continue to put pressure on departments in clinical psychology as well as in internship and postdoctoral sites to address the mental health needs of aging individuals. The authors continue to perform a great service to the profession by providing such a comprehensive and up-to-date volume." - Susan Krauss Whitbourne, PhD, Institute of Gerontology, University of Massachusetts, Boston
