Quatrième de couverture

Biological psychiatry, a body of knowledge which has revolutionised our understanding of most of the major psychiatric disorders, has progressed significantly since the first edition of this book. Written by a leading expert in his field, this new volume reflects the major advances which have occurred and provides a fully updated and authoritative text on the subject, with many more references and illustrations. Presented in a new, easy–to–read, modern format, this indispensable reference work will appeal to a wide, international audience in the fields of psychiatry, psychology and mental health care.

Reviews of the First Edition: "A handy, readable book which psychiatrists in training would be better for reading; it would also appeal to psychiatrists in need of a good refresher course." Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry "The author has undertaken the task of traversing the jungle of current information in biological psychiatry and, as an overview of much of the recent biological research, has provided an excellent sampling of work in biochemical and neuropsychiatric research." Contemporary Psychology "This is a masterpiece of compression; a valuable and up–to–date text." British Journal of Psychiatry
