The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on older adults with mental illness, and Geriatric Mental Health Care was conceived in response. This book, with its detailed descriptions of clinical and social innovations to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on a vulnerable population, represents an ongoing effort to address rapidly evolving health care needs. Because the authors worked on this book during the pandemic, the practices they describe have been tested and refined in the real world. Introductory vignettes that serve to illustrate each chapter's salient points, key takeaways that allow for quick reference, and multiple-choice questions that help reinforce learning are the hallmarks of Geriatric Mental Health Care. In addition to offering a historical perspective on the mental health effects of pandemics, the chapter authors delve into modern-day concerns that include inpatient geriatric psychiatry during a pandemic, telehealth models of care, health care staff concerns, and social determinants of health. The authors also explore the pandemic's effects on research and the economy, analyzing the impact of nonclinical factors on the broader clinical care effort. Although important strides have been made in the delivery of mental health care to older adult patients, very real challenges remain more than a year and a half after the pandemic's emergence. Even as the world continues to grapple with the effects of the current pandemic, mental health professionals must prepare themselves to provide care under the trying conditions of what will likely be other pandemics in the future. These considerations make Geriatric Mental Health Care, and its purpose of sharing promising practices that other clinicians and systems can consider emulating, so urgent and necessary.

La référence en gériatrie!

Dès sa toute première publication en 1987, le précis pratique de gériatrie s'est imposé comme une référence dans le monde médical francophone. Depuis la parution de l'édition précédente, la pratique de la médecine pour les aînés a beaucoup progressé. Rédigée en s'appuyant sur l'expertise de 108 collaborateurs spécialisés dans une grande variété de domaines touchant aux soins des aînés, cette quatrième édition de l'ouvrage cerne d'autant mieux les enjeux auxquels devront se mesurer les cliniciens au cours de la prochaine décennie.

Alors que l'évaluation gériatrique globale et les syndromes gériatriques demeurent essentiels, de nouveaux sujets se sont imposés au cours des dernières années. C'est pourquoi cette nouvelle édition aborde entre autres l'oncogériatrie, l'utilisation des technologies pour le maintien à domicile, l'usage thérapeutique du cannabis et les soins de fin de vie, incluant l'aide médicale à mourir. De plus, tous les chapitres ont été revus en profondeur afin de rendre compte notamment de tous les développements concernant les troubles neurocognitifs majeurs.

Résolument pratique et actuelle, cette nouvelle édition du Précis pratique de gériatrie Arcand-Hébert saura répondre aux divers besoins des intervenants oeuvrant auprès des personnes âgées.
