This review is from: Neuroimaging in Pyschiatry (Hardcover)

This book is moderately useful. It neither addresses basic imaging questions at a level that would catch the interst of a curious student, nor does it provide more comprehensive and thorough information for the seasoned clinician researcher. The chapters, mostly written by different authors, are rather randomly assembled, vary in quality, and leave the reader puzzled as to the overarching purpose of the book. And, it is very expensive for what it offers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good..., February 20, 2004

This review is from: Neuroimaging in Pyschiatry (Hardcover)

I expected a turgid read of a collection of abstracts from the various contributors. But actually its a pleasant read, the Russell et al chapter on the introduction of neuroimaging is sensational and should be required reading for under and post graduate courses.
