De la contraportada

For nearly three decades, the Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology has helped many clinicians treat patients with neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral syndromes with insight and kindness.

This third edition of the seminal guide picks up that mantle, combining an emphasis on excellent patient care with all the scientific rigor of preceding editions. 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.

With information on the latest treatment options for more than a dozen disorders and a wealth of recommended readings that open the door to further study, this resource is primed to help a new generation of clinicians—from trainees to experienced practitioners—not only diagnose with greater accuracy but also manage their patients' conditions, however complex they may be.
