At A Glance

For nearly 30 years, the Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology has been an indispensable companion for clinicians caring for patients struggling with everything from delusions and hallucinations to aphasia and stroke.

This third edition combines all of the scientific rigor of its predecessors with a renewed emphasis on kind, empathetic care. 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.

A wealth of tables throughout the book will help busy clinicians quickly reference relevant information, regardless of the patient's presentation. And an extensive list of recommended readings opens the door to further study.

As useful for trainees as it is for the experienced practitioner, the Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology, Third Edition offers the latest science and expert guidance to both achieve accurate diagnosis and undertake effective management of patients with complex neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral disorders.

Description
This book presents a concise guide to the phenomenology of various neuropsychiatric syndromes with accompanying clinical correlates and general treatment strategies. With the prior edition being published in 2002, this newer edition builds upon its predecessor with a variety of scientific updates and new topics, such as chapters on interventional neuropsychiatry and limbic encephalitis.

Purpose
This book serves as a useful guide for clinicians to better appreciate a variety of neuropsychiatric manifestations and syndromes and to generate a more expansive differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with psychopathology. The authors' goal of consolidating the wealth of information in this field into a more easily accessible format is both a worthy and well-executed objective.

Audience
Written by credible authors with complementary specializations and training backgrounds, this book satisfactorily delves into the subject matter in a suitable manner for clinicians or learners with some pre-existing foundational knowledge.

Features
Strengths of this work include clinically high-yield comparative tables, diagnostic algorithms, and multiple figures correlating neuropsychiatric syndromes with various etiologies throughout. The writing is succinct yet informative and easily accessible for quicker reference when needed. The inclusion of specific assessments that may be used to evaluate different frontal lobe syndromes offers an example of the breadth of useful information in this book. Shortcomings include rare typos and lack of color in anatomic diagrams. The section on limbic encephalitis offers useful updates regarding the most common identified antibodies, but the addition of a more comprehensive table with other currently identified antibodies may have strengthened this section.

Assessment
This guide to neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology is an excellent book with a multitude of clinical pearls in a format that is easy to carry and reference.
