Health and social care services are most heavily used by older people, and mental health conditions, both organic and functional, have a particularly high impact as people age, not only through their direct consequences for those affected and their carers, but also their wider adverse effects on other common health conditions and frailty more generally.

Yet despite its importance, old age psychiatry has not been overburdened with textbooks. However, the Oxford Textbook of Old Age Psychiatry has a long and noble ancestry. Beginning with Felix Post's Clinical Psychiatry of Late Life in 1965, it continued to develop through successive editions and has become one of the leading references in the field.

This fully updated fourth edition provides comprehensive coverage of clinical conditions, services, ethics, dementia, cognitive disorders, and the broader dimensions of psychiatric care for older adults. New chapters cover Carers and Dementia, Eating Disorders, Autism and Neurodiversity, and emerging developments in memory clinics and dementia diagnosis. Contributors include internationally recognised experts, making this an essential resource for clinicians worldwide.
