Article Abstract

Because this piece has no abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

As an academic geriatric psychiatrist and a former training director of a geriatric psychiatry fellowship program, I am always on the lookout for books that can give a comprehensive review of topics in geriatric psychiatry for trainees to read. Over the years, I have reviewed multiple books and articles on personality disorders in the elderly, but was never impressed by what I saw or read. It was fortunate that I got a chance to review this wonderful book by Drs. Segal, Coolidge, and Rosowsky.
