- Authors
Jolley, David; Read, Kate
- Abstract
The authors discuss research in geriatric psychiatry, with a focus on an older homeless woman, Miss Naysmith, her decision to maintain a stoic lifestyle, and how her eccentric personality relates to Diogenes syndrome, or senile squalor syndrome. Topics include how British public transportation authorities displaced Miss Naysmith, dependence on others, and productive lifestyles.
