Extract

An editorial in the British Medical Journal in 1962 drew attention to the fact that research workers have taken relatively little interest in the psychoses of the elderly. The editorial commented on the important paper by Kay and Roth (1961), which analysed the condition known as “late paraphrenia”. Since the publication of this editorial, no significant contribution has been added to the analysis of this illness.
