A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"The third edition of the now–classic text OrganicPsychiatry by William Alwyn Lishman should be a part of everyneuropsychiatrist′s library. It should also serve as a reminderthat neuropsychiatric training programs must continue to promotepersonal clinical instruction, in the spirit of Lishman′s prose, asa guiding bedside beacon to future practitioners."

Over the past 30 years, thousands of physicians have depended onLishman′s Organic Psychiatry. Its authoritative and reliableclinical guidance was – and still is – beyond compare.

It continues toprovide a comprehensive review of the cognitive, emotional andbehavioural consequences of cerebral disorders and theirmanifestations in clinical practice.

With a Foreword by Marshal Folstein

Revue de presse :

"It is a masterpiece worthy of its heritage, offering the unique richness that was evident in the original work. As such, it should be viewed as a necessary if occasional resource for the general psychiatrist and as an absolute requirement for the training and practice of consulting psychiatrists." ( Journal of Clinical Psychiatry , 2011) "The book is ambitious in its scope and although running to over 900 pages does not feel cumbersome to handle. … Like its predecessors, [it] is an essential addition to the library of any general, liaison or old–age psychiatrist or neurologist." ( Progress in Neurology and Psychiatry , December 2009) "It is impossible to review this book in any conventional sense—indeed it is unnecessary given its almost legendary status... My overall impression of the book is that the authors have done a remarkable job of bringing this classic text up to date." ( British Journal of Psychiatry, 2010) "The benchmark for all the other neuropsychiatry textbooks on the market and should be required reading for any card–carrying neuropsychiatrists (and psychiatrists) or behavioral neurologists!" ( Doody′s , April 2010)
