Summary

The most clinically relevant material from Drs. Fogel and Schiffer's definitive text, Neuropsychiatry, is concisely summarized in this user-friendly and affordable Synopsis of Neuropsychiatry. Geared to the needs of busy clinicians, the Synopsis is condensed to half the length of the original text and organized for fast, easy information retrieval. The text is logically outlined by assessment and treatment, functional brain systems, and syndromes and disorders. Coverage of therapy has been updated to reflect significant advances in the two years since Neuropsychiatry was published.
