Interdisciplinary issues in mental health and aging
Abstract:
An Interdisciplinary Conference on Mental Health and Aging held in Washington, D.C. in May 1986 restimulated the interdisciplinary cooperation generated by the 1980 White House Mini-Conference on the Mental Health of Older Adults and provided a continuing basis for interdisciplinary promotion of coordinated geriatric mental health services. The Conference reflected a wide-spread recognition of the need for interdisciplinary cooperation and the coordination of services for the elderly. The overall organization of the meeting is provided here and articles based on the presentations given by representatives of the four core mental health disciplines follow.
