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.
