Intellectual Functioning in the Aged

By the early 1970s the psychology of age was an important topic. In this book, first published in 1973, the authors are concerned with intellectual functioning. This is severely affected by psychiatric illness - but the intellectual difficulties associated with functional disorder in the aged may be quite different from those in the young.
