This is the long-awaited successor to Jeffrey Cummings' classic work, Clinical Neuropsychiatry, published in 1985. That book represented an integration of behavioral neurology and biological psychiatry into a single volume devoted to explicating brain-behavior relationships. It was clinically oriented and intended for practitioners caring for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders. The new title reflects the authors' effort to link the recent explosion of new information from neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, genetics, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, and neuroimaging to the clinical descriptions. Yet the clinical emphasis of its predecessor has been maintained. Each chapter has a consistent approach and the book as whole provides a practical, easy-to-use synthesis of clinical advice and basic science. The volume is enhanced by 4-color images throughout. It is intended for students, residents, fellows, and practitioners of neurology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. It will also be of interest to individuals in neuroimaging. Review: Easy to read Very interenting form to present Human behavior as a biological perspective. Easy to read this very scientific knowledge. Perhaps the only "but" is one chapter about "conciouness". Review: Excellent in places I tend to read a lot of neuropsychiatry books for work and this is the latest from Jeff Cummings - an author who seems to do little wrong! The production value on this book is very high - quite a few color illustrations are used. The text is, in general, sensible and useful but there are some minor inaccuracies and some topics not covered. In places the depth is not really adequate and it may not offer quite the same coverage as competing volumes. Overall, excellent in places, but some omissions - therefore I would give it ok(3stars). I am sure the next edition, will offer more. PDF: Buy Book at Lowest Price on Amazon
