Levkoff (psychiatry, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and social medicine, Harvard Medical School) et al. assemble nine chapters that address the implementation of evidence-based mental health services for older adults. The book serves as a guide for behavioral health- care providers regarding practices to improve service delivery as a result of the increase in the aging population and demand for cost- effective mental health care. Subjects discussed include selecting a practice, feasibility, quality management, cultural aspects, sustainable services, and practices for a range of disorders. Contributors from the US are in psychology, psychiatry and health management fields and are affiliated with the Positive Aging Resource Center and its partner sites. The book is meant for program administrators and clinical supervisors, health care professionals, and teachers and students.
