Textbook of Biological Psychiatry |
| Jaak Panksepp (Department of Psychology, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio ) |
| Not until the publication of the Textbook of Biological Psychiatry has the science of psychiatric disorders and clinical practice been seamlessly integrated in a modern text. In this landmark volume, editor Jaak Panksepp assembles the perspectives of top scientists and clinicians who apply contemporary neuroscience to psychiatric issues. In each chapter, the book draws on a range of cutting-edge research areas–such as the biochemistry of neurotransmission, behavioral pharmacology, and the clinical aspects of psychiatric problems–to give you the most informed, practical overview of biological psychiatry available.
Featuring a cohesive, three-part organization, the Textbook of Biological Psychiatry begins with an incisive look at core concepts, from the role of stress, sleep, and sexuality in psychiatric disorders to the use of neuroimaging in psychiatry. The Textbook then considers the biological mechanisms and treatment of those disorders that pose major psychiatric challenges, including: *Depression *Schizophrenia *Posttraumatic stress disorder *Panic disorders *Obsessive-Compulsive disorder *Childhood neuropsychiatric disorders *Alzheimer’s disease | | |
