Over the past few decades, increasing emphasis has
been given to the study of brain mechanisms that
may be dysfunctional in neuropsychiatric illnesses. In
recent years, new methodologies from various disciplines in the clinical neurosciences have made available
substantially improved and more sophisticated tools
for studies of causation of these severe illnesses. For
instance, we have seen tremendous progress in knowledge from disciplines such as molecular genetics, neuropsychopharmacology, and brain imaging, which has
provided unprecedented tools for studies of the human
brain and neuropsychiatric illnesses. These efforts have
begun to produce important findings and are begin-
ning to contribute to a better understanding of the
basic mechanisms involved in these disorders and the
mechanisms of actions of treatments for these conditions, and lead to the development of new therapeutic
possibilities.
The Handbook of Medical Psychiatry summarizes
the main advances in the understanding of the basic
mechanisms and therapeutics of the major psychiatric
illnesses that have taken place in recent years. The
format provides easy access to new information in
these areas, making the book of significant interest to
academicians, researchers, practitioners, students, resi-
dents, and trainees in psychiatry, clinical neuroscience,
and the mental health professions. We believe this
book will be a helpful, comprehensive, and important
resource for individuals in psychiatry and related
fields.
