Reviews

<br> As psychiatric diagnoses continue to be hotly debated, the Fourth Edition of this mainstay volume reminds the field of our deeper understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of the brain, just a decade after the first Edition was published. This completely revamped Edition highlights articles by leaders in the fields of psychiatry and neuroscience and offers intelligent insights into how neuroscience may impact how we will diagnose and treat individuals suffering from mental illness in the very near future. The book continues to be a tour de force. <br> -- Dilip V. Jeste, M.D., Estelle and Edgar Levi Chair in Aging, Director, Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging, Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry & Neurosciences <br>University of California, San Diego <br>President, American Psychiatric Association, 2012<br><p><br> The editors have compiled an outstanding and comprehensive overview of the biological basis of mental illness including detailed descriptions of state-of-the-art molecular, cellular, and circuit methodologies in animals and people that will lead the field to improved diagnostic tests and treatments for these debilitating conditions. This book is an important resource for those interested in entering the field as well as for accomplished researchers and practitioners. <br>-- Arvid Carlsson, MD, PhD, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, 2000 <br><p><br>

The fourth edition of Neurobiology of Mental Illness represents a remarkable contribution to promote the integration of psychiatry into biomedical sciences... [It] will be a very useful text to be adopted for trainees in psychiatry and students interested in the field of neuroscience but also for all those interested who need to keep up to date with their knowledge in the field. Antonio Ventriglio, ASUR; University of Foggia, Italy; International Journal of Social Psychiatry, 2015, Vol. 62 (1) This book continues to be an outstanding testament to the effort made towards a fundamental understanding of psychiatric disorders. The fourth edition is an excellent and complete update on the biological basis of psychiatric disorders. Every psychiatrist should read and refer to this book. It covers the basis of modern psychiatry. Michael Joel Schrift, D.O., M.A., Doody's Notes
