The book incorporates the theory and skill needed for many disciplines to work together effectively. It integrates the various topics covered by way of section introductions, cross-references within chapters, a case study and case conference, and an introductory chapter of discussions among a panel of aged people. With contributions from a wide range of experts, this book teaches an interdisciplinary perspective on the aged and their health care, and examines the working relationships among the many professionals providing care for the aged.Satin, David G. is the author of 'Clinical Care of the Aged Person An Interdisciplinary Perspective' with ISBN 9780195052909 and ISBN 0195052900.
