Anita Riecher-Rossler, Universitare Psychiatrische Kliniken Basel, Switzerland 'How does medical science progress? First by defining disease entities, then by bringing to bear upon them a new perspective. Brockington first describes the characteristics of psychiatric states associated with the phases of reproduction in women. Then he makes clear that these associations are [aetiological] clues to the nature of the physiological disturbance. Brockington writes with pre-eminent expertise in this field. Starting from an historical and clinical viewpoint, he brings the topic under the scrutiny of modern biological research methods. The contribution is unique.' Tim Crow, University of Oxford Author InformationIan Brockington is Professor Emeritus at the University of Birmingham. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
