title: [Organization of health care in geriatric psychiatry: a consensus statement].
abstract: This consensus statement, originally published in English by the World Health Organization (WHO), has been produced in collaboration with the Section of Geriatric Psychiatry of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA). During a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, from November 14 to 16, 1997, led by Dr Nori Graham, the final declaration was prepared by an interdisciplinary group of representatives from the principle international associations concerned. Professor Cornelius Katona and Dr Nori Graham were Co-Rapporteurs. This statement follows an initial consensus document published by the WHO and the WPA defining geriatric psychiatry (1).
