Extract

One may read something about the psychiatry of old age by adhering to the College's reading list, supplementing it with more up to date papers from current journals or selections from the bibliographies and reference lists of reviews and textbooks. It would be profligate of a limited allowance for this article to repeat such lists or even to highlight choices from them. It is arguably as enlightening, perhaps more so, to read around the subject.
