Late-life paranoid states: assessment and treatment

Karen Sommer Berger et al. Am J Orthopsychiatry. 1978 Jul.

Abstract

Paranoid states are a frequent and often disturbing disorder in the elderly, but treatment potentials are often overlooked. Etiological factors are reviewed, with attention to differential diagnosis. Treatment issues, including the role of a therapeutic relationship, the impact on the person's social network and prognosis, are discussed.
