- Summary:
- Beginning with the physical examination and medical and psychiatric history, this eminently practical work also discusses neuropsychological examinations, including interpretation pitfalls and future trends; electrophysiological testing, including recommendations in certain clinical situations (e.g., cognitive decline) and future uses; laboratory testing and the importance of developing consensus guidelines for its use in screening psychiatric patients; and neuroimaging, including a fascinating overview of the techniques involved and the current research findings in schizophrenia, major affective disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
