This ground-breaking book has been in print since 1974. Earlier editions of the book were seminal in delineating brain-behavior relationships; the current edition expands this theme using the most... This description may be from another edition of this product.
What if all text books were this gripping and balanced? They'd all be classics -- and would be read by many types of people, not just students. This is the best textbook I have ever read. It is full of insights and information that are unique or difficult to find anywhere else. Wish there was more up-to-date material on prions and a discussion of fibromyalgia, but they can be considered for the next revision. I'd also like to see greater consideration of bipolar disorder, which seemed to get less treatment than it deserves. Even scholarly readers will reach for the dictionary occasionally. A glossary might be considered for future volumes. Well done, gentlemen.
Quite a read!

I am an attorney doing research in abnormal psychiatry and neurologic bases for the outcomes. This book was essential to my greater understanding. I also met the good Dr.Pincus and he was charming and pleased to discuss the material I found difficult. I highly recomend this as a need to read if the area is of your concern,
