"This book is one of the best ideas I have heard in a long time and
it is bound to be successful. Such a work would be required in all
medical school libraries. The authors are the best in the world for
the breadth of this topic.Congratulations on landing an excellent
plan from the top experts."
James M. Lipton, Woodland Hills, USA "Both authors are prominent in
neurophsychiatric research and have contributed extensively to
research on the brain."
Richard P. Ebstein, Jerusalem, Israel "...within the chapters
themselves much attention has been paid to a uniform structuring
and a clear overview. ...the owner of this book has the
overwhelming feeling of having a treasure trove of knowledge and
information, which appeals due to its timeliness. While it is a
reference work, the book also urges the reader to browse. Thus, in
spite of the far from low price, it is essential for psychiatrists
interested in biology and neuroscientists interested in
psychiatry."
Biologie in unserer Zeit "Of its far-reaching boundaries and
because we have not seen another book on this subject as detailed
and well-organized; simply, everything the clinician needs to know
in order to arrive at suitable treatment for the individual patient
is contained on the pages of this handbook."
Electric Review "...a great resource for professionals in the
fields of psychiatry, psychology, social work, counseling and
medicine who want a very comprehensive understanding of the
disease...a truly necessary addition to libraries..."
