Neuropsychiatric Guide to Modern Everyday Psychiatry

A clinically practical guide that can be used to teach neophytes how to practice psychiatry as neuropsychiatry and to refresh and reinforce more experienced practitioners in their care of patients. It synthesizes the ideas and skills of basic psychiatric assessment with the principles of clinical neurobiology. Common, classic psychiatric syndromes, along with less well-known regional brain syndromes, are presented from the neurobiologic viewpoint. Discussion of treatment and management issues also provides a reasoned and practical neurobiologic and behavioral approach to the care of the mentally ill. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
