Synopsis

Neuroscience is increasingly understood to ground the practice of psychiatry, but clinicians can be overwhelmed by the competing facts and unfamiliar approaches utilised. This book provides key, up-to-date findings in neuroscience, and their relevance to clinical psychiatry in an approachable format. Clinical experts summarise the most important findings in diverse fields of neuroscience and explain their relevance for clinical practice. Topics include neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neurophilosophy, imparting essential knowledge for the MRCPsych syllabus and exams, as well as conveying important recent developments. Each chapter is designed to aid comprehension and learning with suggested readings, equipping the reader with the knowledge and skills to understand, assess, and treat those with mental health problems in the 21st Century. Expertly covering essential neuroscience topics with a clear emphasis on clinical relevance, this book is ideal for clinicians in psychiatry, psychology, and allied fields such as mental health nurses.
