The Fundamentals of Clinical Neuropsychiatry by Michael Alan Taylor
Increasingly, psychiatrists make little distinction between psychiatric and neurologic disorders, considering them all as dysfunctions of the central nervous system. This is a practical how to book intended primarily for trainees and practicing clinicians unfamiliar with the relatively new field of neuropsychiatry. It is written as the author might teach the material during clinical rounds and in small group seminars. In a clear and engaging style, he explains what to do and how to do it, giving the rationale for each step, and synthesizing neuropsychiatric principles with practical guidelines for diagnosis and management of adult patients. Many tables are included for quick reference and to help the reader to quickly see the big picture of a given topic. The book covers personality and personality disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, psychiatric disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and stroke, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, headache and violence. It can be used as an introductory text for psychiatric residents, medical students, and others who care for persons with behavioral disorders. It can also be used as a clinical manual or reference by practitioners in psychiatry and neurology.
"This informal, practical guide to clinical neuropsychiatry is a synthesis of the latest research findings with the principles of diagnosis treatment"--Ioody's "The author does a great job of showing how to apply the neuropsychiatric perspective to all types of patients..The guide can easily be incorporated into residents current diagnosis and treatment schemes. While reference texts and journal articles abound, practical guides for the clinician are lacking. This book fills that need."--Doddy's Review "The Fundamentals of Clinical Neuropsychiatry is a clear, comprehensive and very useful portrayal of the current state of neuropsychiatric and psychiatric knowledge. It also highlights the work that needs to be done in the future. We should all be grateful that Dr. Taylor has made the effort to summarize his considerable knowledge and experience."--Gary J. Tucker, MD, and Paul E. Holtzheimer, MD, in Neuropsychiatry, Neuropsychology, and Behavioral Neurology
