Dementia is a theoretical, empirical, and clinical discussion of the spectra of the dementias.

The book's sections include work on Alzheimer dementias, vascular dementias, depressive dementias, AIDS/HIV dementia, non-depressive pseudodementias in the context of dementia spectra. New conceptualizations include noninfarct vascular dementia, depressive dementia as risk factor for degenerative dementia, connections between Down syndrome and Alzheimer disease, Alzheimer as an inflammatory disease, and other.
