Reviews

This book would be most useful for medical students or resident physicians, who can use it for review and carry it conveniently for reference, but it could also be of value for other practitioners who regularly work with individuals with neurological disorders and their psychopathological sequelae. This is a very useful and easy to read manual that the clinician can use on a daily, quick reference basis. This book is written in a very practical, user-friendly format differentiating itself from other books in this category.
