Abstract

Approaching the patient with Alzheimer's disease often requires the participation of a team of collaborating physicians and psychologists as well as others both for diagnosis and for management. This article describes the approach to the disease by a neurologist, geriatrician, psychiatrist, and psychologist. Each describes a specific diagnostic approach, and the reader can appreciate the incremental value to assessment and care that emerges from the aggregate.
