Product Description
Bringing the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience to the clinician, this text provides resident and practicing psychiatrists with a comprehensive, clinically relevant overview of the brain mechanisms underlying behavior and mental illness. The book presents an integrated perspective on the structures and workings of the brain, the mechanisms governing behaviors such as pleasure, aggression, and intelligence, and the pathophysiology of mental disorders. More than 200 two-color illustrations clarify key concepts. Questions and answers at the end of each chapter facilitate review and board preparation. Readers will also have online access to the complete, fully searchable text and a quiz bank of over 150 questions at www.neuroscienceofclinicalpsychiatry.com.

Good fundamental text on this topic January 29, 2008
3 out of 3 found this comment useful.
I became familiar with this book when I was searching for a text for the clinical neuroscience class I offer each year to graduate students in the Department of Psychology at my university. The book is what I would describe as "deceptively good." The authors haven't put a lot of pizzazz (sp?) into their writing; this is, after all, an upper level college textbook. However, the presentation of the material is well organized, and there is actually an awfully lot of good, up-to-date information succinctly included here. The latter is especially true if one is also conscientious about examining the figures - which, thankfully, in most instances supplement rather than merely repeat the text. I'm pleased with the selection of this text for my class. It's too early to tell about my students' response. But as someone who has taught in this area for quite a while, I know from experience we've long needed a book like this to introduce students to the exciting discoveries occurring in the realm of clinical neuroscience.
