For more than three decades, the Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and
Clinical Neurosciences has been the gold standard for understanding
the structural and functional foundations and rapidly evolving
knowledge base of neuropsychiatric disorders. In the new edition,
the esteemed editors have undertaken a complete reorganization,
reconceptualizing the way the material is presented and integrating
considerations of neuropsychiatric symptoms, syndromes, and
treatments into chapters addressing the neuropsychiatry of
neurodevelopmental disorders, acquired neurological conditions,
neurodegenerative disorders, and primary psychiatric disorders. The
result is a text that flows easily and logically from general
principles to specific diagnostic tools and conditions, making it a
clinically relevant and eminently practical guide for medical
students and residents, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists
and neuropsychologists, as well as a broad range of professionals
who work in diverse clinical settings (e.g., the general hospital
setting, physical medicine/rehabilitation hospitals, psychiatric
institutes, community mental health centers, alcohol and chemical
dependency programs, and outpatient services and doctors'
offices).The book possesses a multitude of useful attributes and
features: * The new edition is thoroughly compatible with the 5th
edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders.* The chapters are complete unto themselves, allowing for
easy retrieval and use by clinicians facing daily challenges in the
field. Extensive references allow for further research and study in
quieter moments.* Chapters on specific disorders have consistent
structures, where appropriate. For example, the chapter on "Autism
Spectrum Disorders" has sections on background, prevalence,
etiology, neurobiology, clinical presentation, assessment,
differential diagnosis, comorbidity, research, interventions and
treatment, and medication.* The prestigious roster of contributors
boasts both luminaries and emerging leaders in behavioral neurology
and neuropsychiatry, providing readers with diverse perspectives.*
The material is supported by scores of tables, graphs, and
illustrations, including PET, CT, and MRI images. Neuropsychiatry
has come a long way from the days when patients with
neuropsychiatric conditions routinely fell through the cracks of
the healthcare system. The Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical
Neurosciences provides comprehensive, current, and evidence-based
coverage in a forward-looking volume to train a new generation of
clinicians in this important work.
