The Clinician’s Guide to Geriatric Forensic Evaluations

[摘要] By Karen Reimers, MD. San Diego, CA: Academic Press, 2019. 278 pp, $93.75.Reviewed by James B. Reynolds, MDThe Clinician’s Guide to Geriatric Forensic Evaluations occupies a niche that is underrepresented in the clinical literature and popular press. It is concise enough to be easily accessible to those with precious little free time, yet thorough enough to guide a novice’s approach to the assessment of an older individual. Reimers is respectful in her use of terminology and her explanations and approach to the subject of ageism. She discusses real-world examples of the potential for discrimination that a geriatric patient may face in a legal proceeding, or even from a forensic examiner.
