Overview

Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychiatry provides a comprehensive, encyclopedic and up to date coverage of the complete range of neuropsychiatric disorders. The text is clearly written and well organized, utilizing a consistent and easy to read format throughout. Part I describes the diagnostic assessment of patients and details the interview, mental status examination, neurologic examination and ancillary investigations. Part II provides a thorough description of the clinical features of the signs, symptoms and syndromes seen in neuropsychiatric practice, with special emphasis on the multiple disorders and lesions that may cause them. Part III goes on to present virtually all of the specific disorders seen in neuropsychiatric practice, in each case detailing clinical features, course, etiology, differential diagnosis and treatment. The authoritativeness, comprehensiveness and lucid organization of Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychiatry make it an essential reference for psychiatrists and neurologists alike, and for students in those disciplines.

Reviews

This second edition has become an excellent book on clinical neuropsychiatry. Clinicians and trainees will benefit from reading and referring to this book -- Michael J Schrift, Doody's Book Review Service the suggested reading and documentation are extraordinary, both up to date and reverential to the previous classic contributions. Such as book serves as a both a more than adequate introduction and an excellent gateway to further study of neuropsychiatry. -- Journal of the Kentucky Medical Association, 2008 More than 5000 references have been cited in this impressive, single-author, encyclopaedic and clearly written publication ... I expect this second edition of the Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychiatry to become one of the cornerstone references for neuropsychiatrists. It is also an invaluable source of information about neuropsychiatric disorders for trainees as well as practising psychiatrists and neurologists. -- Psychological Medicine, 2008 This excellent text gives the reader an authoritative update on the growing speciality of neuropsychiatry. It is certainly comprehensive. Its strong points include its scientific references, clearly documented and appropriate use of MRI and CT images. It helps readers to understand better the multiple different presentations in neuropsychiatry. -- Irish Medical Journal, February 2009 This text goes beyond its aim to 'equip the reader to diagnose and treat the multitude of neuropsychiatric disorders they encounter' and could be considered as a replacement for a mainstream psychiatric textbook ... this textbook is definitely one to recommend and not just for psychiatrists but also neurologists and colleagues working in neuro-rehabilitation. It is always nice to find a quality textbook that reminds us how much psychiatry overlaps with medicine and appeals to us not to forget our medical roots. -- British Journal of Psychiatry On the whole, this is a remarkable and epic piece of work that is both comprehenisve and up to date. This textbook is now my first port of reference when faced with any clinical question and should beome a standard reference text for anyone working or studying in the fields of neurology or psychiatry, paediatric or adult. -- Cognitive Neuropsychiatry, 2008
