Summary

"Older adults with schizophrenia have been a largely neglected population, and only since 1990 has any systematic effort been made to study them. Schizophrenia in Late Life helps fill the void in the literature by presenting a uniquely comprehensive analysis of current research. With normal aging used as the point of comparison, Harvey explores several issues in the domain of schizophrenia and aging."--Jacket.
