About the journal
Clinical Gerontologist presents timely material relevant to the needs of mental health professionals and all practitioners who deal with the aged client. Published in cooperation with Psychologists in Long Term Care, the journal is designed for psychologists, physicians, nurses, social workers, and counselors (family, pastoral, and vocational) who address the issues commonly found in later life, including: adjustments to changing roles
issues related to diversity and aging
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
family caregiving
spirituality
cognitive tests and cognitive functioning
comorbidities
depression
hypochondriasis
paranoia
rehabilitation and education for the elderly.
Each issue provides insightful articles on current topics. The editor selects articles for both scholarship and relevance to the practitioner to ensure that the articles are among the best in the field. Authors report research, present illustrative case material, and review the field's literature. A unique column in Clinical Gerontologist is “Clinical Comments." This section features brief observations and specific suggestions from practitioners which avoid elaborate research designs or long lists of unrelated references. This section is a unique opportunity for you to learn about the valuable clinical work of your peers in a short, concise format.
Additional features of the journal are book reviews and media and software reviews. The combination of in-depth scholarly articles with direct relevance to daily practice, clinical reports, and reviews of books and computer programs in the field, keep you up-to-date on the latest developments. Whether you are a physician, psychologist, nurse, social worker, or clergy by training, Clinical Gerontologist provides the information you need for your continued excellence in mental health work with the aged.
