For reasons of demographic changes alone  expertise in geriatric medicine is becoming
increasingly important in all areas of clinical care. Appropriate treatment care for the
elderly requires complex work at the intersection between geriatrics  gerontopsychiatry and
interventional gerontology. This interdisciplinary standard work provides the reader with a
systematic  wide-ranging and up-to-date summary of knowledge from all three disciplines that is
relevant for diagnosis  differential diagnosis  practical therapy implementation and care
planning. Against the background of essential basic concepts that support practical activity
(Part I)  the main part (Part II) presents the practical clinical approach for the most
important and most frequent syndromes in geriatric medicine. In Part III  interdisciplinary
topics applicable to several clinical pictures and relevant to clinical work and care are dealt
with in a practical manner. In the new edition  separate chapters are added on numerous
additional subdisciplines relevant to geriatric medicine (e.g.  ENT  ophthalmology  general
medicine and traumatology)  and existing chapters (e.g.  on neurology) have been substantially
expanded. Each chapter is written by leading representatives of the subdiscipline concerned.
Once again  the emphasis has been placed on evidence-based research and orientation towards
current medical guidelines. Numerous case reports  treatment tables  evidence boxes 
cross-references and a detailed subject index make the information presented here easily
accessible for everyday clinical use.
