The Biology of Psychological Disorders by David Linden
Psychological disorders their origins, clinical symptoms and treatment have a central place in contemporary public health debate.
"A great resource that addresses some of the key questions in our discipline, this timely book combines a foundation in the basic principles of biological psychology with an integrative, critical evaluation of the neurobiological underpinnings of a broad range of psychological disorders" - Dr Alexander Sumich, Division of Psychology, Nottingham Trent University, UK "This textbook challenges mental health professionals to reclaim the lost territory of neuropsychiatry. Linden presents both basic and more advanced concepts of contemporary neuroscience, resisting the tendency to leave the study of the brain to neurology. Every student of brain and behaviour will appreciate this resource." - Dr Stephan Heckers, Chair and Professor of the Department of Psychiatry, Vanderbilt University, USA "This timely and well researched text is an engaging and thorough exploration of the biological basis of psychological disorders and their pharmacological treatment. It will be a superb source for those with an interest in medicine, neuroscience, biopsychology and psychopharmacology, and essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, teachers and clinicians." - Dr Nikola Bridges, School of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, UK
