The results of this study present a strong case for more research to refine, develop and more widely disseminate psychosocial techniques which can be used as alternatives or adjuncts to pharmacology."--page ix Notes "January 2002"--Cover "Presented June 2001' "Report to the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing: Office for Older Australians."
