A Textbook of Neuropsychiatry
"The third edition of the now-classic text OrganicPsychiatry by William Alwyn Lishman should be a part of every
neuropsychiatrist's library. It should also serve as a reminder
that neuropsychiatric training programs must continue to promote
personal clinical instruction, in the spirit of Lishman's prose, as
a guiding bedside beacon to future practitioners."
?from a review of the third edition in Journal of
Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences
Over the past 30 years, thousands of physicians have depended on
Lishman's Organic Psychiatry. Its authoritative and reliable
clinical guidance was - and still is - beyond compare.
The new edition of this classic textbook has now been
extensively revised by a team of five authors, yet it follows the
tradition of the original single-authored book. It continues to
provide a comprehensive review of the cognitive, emotional and
behavioural consequences of cerebral disorders and their
manifestations in clinical practice. Enabling clinicians to
formulate incisive diagnoses and appropriate treatment strategies,
Lishman's Organic Psychiatry is an invaluable source of
information for practising psychiatrists, neurologists and
trainees.
This new edition:
- covers recent theoretical and clinical developments, with
expanded sections on neuropsychology and neuroimaging - includes a new chapter on sleep disorders whilst the chapters
on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, Epilepsy, Movement
disorders and Traumatic brain injury have been extensively revised
reflecting the greatly improved understanding of their underlying
pathophysiologies - showcases the huge advances in brain imaging and important
discoveries in the fields of molecular biology and molecular
genetics - has been enhanced with the inclusion of more tables and
illustrations to aid clinical assessment - incorporates important diagnostic tools such as magnetic
resonance brain images.
