"...the Handbook is one of the best in providing comprehensive, thoughtful coverage of theory, practice and policy, and differentiates itself from other handbooks with its important focus on evidence-based information. The section on evidence-based practice provides highly relevant information about common clinical issues, often with the helpful inclusion of case studies and recommendations for specific interview questions and clinical measures. It fuels the type of holistic and flexible thinking that is foundational to advancing our understanding and treatment of older adults." (PsycCRITIQUES, February 2008)
