It is a matter of pleasure to know that Indian Psychiatric Society is bringing out a worthwhile book having an array of nine clinical practice guidelines on Psychiatric disorders in elderly. CPG Task Force of IPS brought out these guidelines in the year 2017. A wide range of stakeholders in the country consult the IPS clinical practice guidelines as gold standard and these are also looked upon by many developing countries too. Geriatric Psychiatry is an important area. Over the last decade many new concerns and issues have evolved nationally and internationally. In view of these new developments in the field of psychiatry, this new guideline is carried out.
