在2010年至2030年期间，美国65岁以上的人口数量将从现在的八分之一增加到五分之一。在此期间，这些老年人的心理健康需求将增长，不仅仅是因为人数的增加，还因为将形成这一群体的婴儿潮一代已经显示出相对较高的精神障碍率，并且比有远见的一代更有可能寻求帮助。这本多学科的书奠定了确定和满足这一人群的心理健康需求的基础。它提出了一个连续的需求和服务，从促进积极的精神健康到严重的精神疾病，描述了需要解决的关键实践，研究和政策问题，并建议解决方案，以满足我们老年人口的精神健康需求。这本书应该感兴趣的研究人员和从业人员在心理学，精神病学，社会工作和护理，以及联邦，州和地方的决策者谁必须作出决定，现在帮助制定议程的心理健康和老龄化在21世纪世纪。
Between 2010 and 2030, the number of people in the United States who are over age 65 will grow from what is now 1 in 8 to 1 in 5. The mental health needs of these older individuals will grow during this period not simply because of this increase in numbers, but also because the baby-boom generation who will form this cohort has already shown relatively higher rates of mental disorders and are more likely to seek help than provious generations. This multidisciplinary book lays the groundwork for determining and meeting the mental health needs of this population. It presents a continuum of needs and services from promotion of positive mental health to serious mental illness, delineating crucial practice, research and policy issues that will need to be addressed and recommending solutions to what may be the most challenging problems in meeting the mental health needs of our older population. This book should be of interest to researchers and practitioners in psychology, psychiatry, social work and nursing, as well as federal, state and local policy-makers who must make decisions now to help set the agenda for mental health and ageing in the 21st century.
