Abstract

Readers need to be informed of novel, innovative, and ground-breaking books while being warned of books of low quality and those that may even not relate to their specific area of clinical practice and research. The Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience fortunately belongs to the former category. It is a ground-breaking and very comprehensive book that covers a wide array of neuropsychological, neurological, and psychiatric disorders including their clinical description, etiology, differential diagnosis, and available treatment. It is now in its third edition. It was previously published as Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychiatry and has been retitled and thoroughly updated and extended to include the fundamentals of neuroscience. The very first edition appeared in 2001, the second in 2008, and this one appeared in 2012; hence, there has been more than ten years between the first and last edition and the substantial changes reflect the significant developments that have occurred in this field of science. Like the previous editions, this edition is an excellent clinical guide not only for the behavioral neurologist but also for scholars from related fields such as neuropsychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry. Likewise, students and residents will find in this textbook a useful guide for deepening their knowledge of an immense variety of psychopathological conditions or brain-related disorders such as neurodegenerative and movement disorders, congenital, and developmental brain disorders, vascular disorders, trauma, hypoxic-ischemic disorders, nutritional/toxic/metabolic disorders, infectious and related disorders, prion diseases, endocrine disorders, immune-related disorders, sleep disorders, brain tumour and hydrocephalus, and psychiatric disorders such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and substance use disorders.
