This state-of-the-art, multi-disciplinary reference is the first to
assess the empirical research and conceptual frameworks for
understanding the mental health needs and services use of the ethnic
elderly. Leading scholars, researchers, and clinicians in gerontology,
epidemiology, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, anthropology,
nursing, and social work appraise varying approaches, the
demographics, the mental health status and service use of the ethnic
elderly, and issues in the diagnosis, treatment, and mental health
service delivery for the ethnic aged: for African Americans, American
Indians, Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, and Hispanic/Latino
Americans. This unique handbook is a valuable resource and text for
students, teachers, and professionals in a broad array of fields and
settings. The handbook considers such problems as Alzheimer's Disease,
depression and problems of coping, culturally specific psychosocial
nursing care programs, the role of culture and class in mental and
physical co-morbidity among the elderly, and important life-course
perspectives for specific groups. Students, teachers, and
professionals in many fields and settings will find this unique
handbook a valuable resource and text.
