Biological Psychiatry Book

The relationship between the brain and behaviour is now much more clearly understood than it was some thirty years ago. Significant progress has been made as a result not only of clinical observations, and the introduction of a wide variety of powerful psychotropic agents, but also of animal experimental work which has provided new information on the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of the brain. Consequently, psychiatry has advanced conceptually, giving birth to a new clinical discipline - biological psychiatry - which is now well established. In this book, Michael Trimble explores the biological foundations of psychopathology. He describes the historical development of a medical approach to psychiatric illness, showing how therapeutic advances have conquered diseases previously considered incurable. He reviews recent progress in biological psychiatry especially relating to the major psychoses, epilepsy and dementia. Psychiatrists in training and practice will welcome this as an invaluable account of the subject and an up-to-date review of the latest advances. Research workers in many other fields will also find it gives a fascinating insight into the physiology, chemistry and anatomy of brain function.Read More
