"Behaviour and adaption in late life" is a book edited by Ewald W. Busse and Eric Pfeiffer, published by J. & A. Churchill. The book focuses on how people adapt to aging, with most of the research coming from the Duke Center for the Study of Aging in Human Development. The book is a team effort, integrating current knowledge on aging. The chapters by Dr. Busse on 'Theories of aging' and Dr. Palmore on 'Sociological aspects of aging' are particularly strong. Dr. Palmore's study shows that many elderly people do not experience physical decline and may even improve over time. The book also discusses the role of the elderly in society and supports the activity theory of retirement. While the book mainly focuses on the American scene, it also covers topics such as sexual behavior in old age, facing death, and living arrangements. It provides guidance on treating hypochondriasis. The book is a broad overview and will be valuable for physicians, social workers, nurses, and voluntary workers. "Case studies in schizophrenia" by Clarence G. Schulz and Rose K. Kilgalen is based on experience at Chestnut Lodge, a prominent psychiatric hospital. The book describes the psychotherapy of seven schizophrenia patients, emphasizing the need for contact with patients and the development of their personalities. The authors also discuss the importance of social skills and insight, though they do not address occupational rehabilitation. The book also discusses the challenges of working with patients, including rivalries and conflicts. The authors are concerned about the implications of the fact that those who spend the most time with patients are often the least well-paid and least well-trained. "The theory and practice of group psychotherapy" by Irvin Yalom is a comprehensive guide to group psychotherapy. Yalom discusses the importance of interpersonal exchange and the role of the group therapist as a facilitator. He also discusses the importance of group cohesion and the here-and-now process in group therapy.
