Description
For nearly 30 years, the Concise Guide to
Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology has been an indispensable
companion for clinicians caring for patients struggling with everything from
delusions and hallucinations to aphasia and stroke.
This third edition
combines all of the scientific rigor of its predecessors with a renewed
emphasis on kind, empathetic care. It has been updated to account for the
development of new techniques in brain imaging; improvement in
electrophysiological methods to better detect epilepsy and sleep disorders;
and a growing list of blood and spinal fluid biomarkers that have
revolutionized diagnostic capability.
Readers will benefit from
guidance on novel treatments and improved therapies for a range of disorders
that includes
* Memory disorders
* Movement disorders
* Brain tumors
*
Substance related disorders
* HIV neurocognitive disorders
A
wealth of tables throughout the book will help busy clinicians quickly
reference relevant information, regardless of the patient's presentation.
And an extensive list of recommended readings opens the door to further
study.
As useful for trainees as it is for the experienced
practitioner, the Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral
Neurology, Third Edition offers the latest science and expert
guidance to both achieve accurate diagnosis and undertake effective
management of patients with complex neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral
disorders.

Reviews / Votes
This book serves as a useful guide for clinicians to betterappreciate a variety of neuropsychiatric manifestations and syndromes and to
generate a more expansive differential diagnosis when evaluating patients
with psychopathology. The authors' goal of consolidating the wealth of
information in this field into a more easily accessible format is both a
worthy and well-executed objective.
Strengths of this work include
clinically high-yield comparative tables, diagnostic algorithms, and
multiple figures correlating neuropsychiatric syndromes with various
etiologies throughout. The writing is succinct yet informative and easily
accessible for quicker reference when needed. The inclusion of specific
assessments that may be used to evaluate different frontal lobe syndromes
offers an example of the breadth of useful information in this book.
Shortcomings include rare typos and lack of color in anatomic diagrams. The
section on limbic encephalitis offers useful updates regarding the most
common identified antibodies, but the addition of a more comprehensive table
with other currently identified antibodies may have strengthened this
section.
This guide to neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology is an
excellent book with a multitude of clinical pearls in a format that is easy
to carry and reference. -- Andrew Bartholomew, B.S., M.D. * Doody *
