StuartYudofsky,M.D.and Robert Hales,M.D.'s ambitious project of bringing the exciting and dramatically evolving disciplines of biologic psychiatry and behavioral neurology has been rendered magnificently both in breadth and depth in the assiduously crafted and edited fifth edition of the APP Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences. The textbook has been thoughtfully edited and produced so that clinicians from various disciplines can locate source material pertaining either to broad neurobehavioral disorders or to more specific behavioral-psychiatric symptoms. Whereas many textbooks that ambitiously attempt to cover both the neuroscience as well as clinical aspects of neurological disorders are uneven in there coverage and clarity, Yudofsky and Hales have done a masterful job of giving an in depth though succinct neuroscience background that informs the clinical and therapeutic discussions making this textbook the single most authoritative and clinically comprehensive text dealing with the behavioral neuroscience.
I am a neurological consultant at a traumatic brain injury unit and on receiving my copy( the text,figures and diagrams being first rate!)I carefully read Jonathan Silver, et.al chapter on the Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Traumatic Brain Injury which in addition to being superbly written gave a wealth of practical approaches and recommendations which were of value both to patients and their families as well as members of the multidisciplinary team. Those involved in teaching will find Harel, and Tranel's Functional Neuroanatomy: Neuropsychological Correlates of Cortical and Subcortical Damage and Ovsiew's Bedside Neuropsychiatry: Eliciting the Clinical Phenomena of Neuropsychiatric Illness having done the hard work of sifting through the voluminous literature to present a remarkably succinct and thorough discussion. With the APP making all figures and diagrams expertly rendered in CD-ROM format you are ready for lift off in giving well informed presentations
Without reservation I would recommend this textbook to anyone interested in getting a bird's eye view of the exciting developments and their clinical application in the behavioral neurosciences. It is must reading for those interested in training and certification in neuropsychiatry/behavioral neurology. For a one reach resource it is the best buy (actually in light of its extensive and cutting edge coverage a bargain)for consulting neurologist, psychiatrist, neuropsychologist, cognitive- behavioral therapist.
