4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Introductory Text,
By Madaline Barnes (MSPP, Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biological Psychology: An Introduction to Behavioral, Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience (Book with CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh) (Hardcover)
I have used both the first and second editions of this text in courses for first-year graduate students in a Psy.D. program. The text is clear, the illustrations excellent, as are the color overheads. This is at exactly the right level for students who will be clinicians using this information in understanding and dealing with clients directly (as opposed to researchers).

The best book on the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biological Psychology: An Introduction to Behavioral, Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience (Book with CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh) (Hardcover)
This is the best introductory book in Biological Psychology/Neuropsychology I have seen so far. Very well written and with beautiful illustrations and pictures that make this interesting subject even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good end of the second millenium,
By hector h. osorio h (Santiago, Chile) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biological Psychology: An Introduction to Behavioral, Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience (Book with CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh) (Hardcover)
I had the chance to give a overlook to prof. M.Rosenzweig text "Biological Psychology...", talking with my assistant teacher, I said, at last a nice, and good text for undergraduate student that are not going to be medicine student, but other profesional. This is the text for a change in the teaching of neuroscience; the result of it use will be clear at december 2000. the reasons for this: - clear use of history. - great use of design in each theme treated. - all the aids (cd, etc) are exactly what a beginnig student need. - the use of real neuroanatomy part, are perfectly complement by the pictures, diagram in the text. profs. M. Rosenzweig, A. leiman & S.M. Breedlove thanks from Chile.
