Increasingly, psychiatrists make little distinction between
psychiatric and neurologic disorders, considering them all as
dysfunctions of the central nervous system. This is a practical how
to book intended primarily for trainees and practicing clinicians
unfamiliar with the relatively new field of neuropsychiatry. It is
written as the author might teach the material during clinical
rounds and in small group seminars. In a clear and engaging style,
he explains what to do and how to do it, giving the rationale for
each step, and synthesizing neuropsychiatric principles with
practical guidelines for diagnosis and management of adult
patients. Many tables are included for quick reference and to help
the reader to quickly see the big picture of a given topic. The
book covers personality and personality disorders, depression,
bipolar disorder, psychiatric disorders, alcohol and substance
abuse, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and stroke, anxiety
disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, headache and violence.
It can be used as an introductory text for psychiatric residents,
medical students, and others who care for persons with behavioral
disorders. It can also be used as a clinical manual or reference by
practitioners in psychiatry and neurology.
