First published over two decades ago as the only multiauthored, comprehensive textbook in the field, the Fifth Edition of this tremendously successful volume expands its focus on the neurosciences to encompass the great strides we've made and their integration into clinical practice. To convey this intensified focus and to acknowledge the recognition by the American Neuropsychiatric Association and the United Council for Neurological Subspecialties of new subspecialty status in neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology, the editors have added Behavioral Neurosciences to the title. New and expanded chapters cover topics such as the cellular and molecular biology of the neuron, the epidemiology and genetics of neuropsychiatric disorders, neuropsychiatric aspects of delirium, and clinical and functional neuroimaging. In compiling this informative and enjoyable compendium, the editors have crafted each chapter as a complete stand-alone entity, so that clinicians can easily apply the content to the day-to-day challenges of their practices. With a remarkable 82 contributors, 29 of whom are new to this Edition all recognized experts this comprehensive text is clinically relevant and eminently practical for medical students and residents, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists and neuropsychologists, and a broad range of professionals who work in many different clinical settings (e.g., the general hospital setting, physical medicine/rehabilitation hospitals, psychiatric institutes, community mental health centers, alcohol and chemical dependency programs, and outpatient services and doctors' offices). The accompanying CD in PowerPoint presentation format contains a wealth of material to enhance classroom presentation, study, and clinical use. It includes all 170 tables and all 250 figures, many in color, with their explanatory legends, easy to access and organized chapter by chapter with context provided plus, Highlights for the Clinician summarizing the key clinical points for each chapter; locator menus; useful links; and a topic outline.

Review
Despite the great increase of new knowledge in neuropsychiatry, the editors of the Fifth Edition have successfully avoided escalating size to impracticality, reducing the textbook's overall length while providing much new information. This magnificent volume will be a rewarding resource to all those who work in the mental health spectrum, from beginning students to the most advanced psychiatric practitioners. --From the Introduction by Solomon H. Snyder, M.D., Distinguished Service Professor of Neuroscience, Pharmacology, and Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland
The fifth edition of textbook of neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurosciences has an impressive list of contributors writing on a broad array of topics ranging from basic principles in neuroscience to neuropsychiatric treatments. The format of the test is particularly well done with extensive figures, guidelines, and references. The supplementary across disciplines as well as text has wide application across disciplines as well as level of education and training. Although the text is sophisticated, it is also written in a style suited for medical students, graduate students, and residents in neuropsychology, psychiatry, and neurology. --Stephen N. Macciocchi, Ph.D., ABPP, PSYCHOLOGY PRESS

2.0 out of 5 stars
A disappointment,
By NRS "NRS" (NRS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, Fifth Edition (American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Neuropsychiatry) (Hardcover)
Another behemoth product of the APA publishing empire. I have not read Dr. Silver's TBI chapter alluded to by the above reviewer so cannot comment on it. I presume it is a good read since he edits an entire book devoted to the subject, another APP spawn. My biggest criticisms of this book are 1. the price, 2. the utter unevenness. With respect to the latter, what I mean is, who is this book meant for? For example, the neuroimaging chapter by Hurley and Taber is fair. Here, the illustrations are invaluable. The explanation of MRI is quite weak and any thoughtful discussion of different imaging approaches used experimentally is absent. It is essentially written at the level of an interested medical student or junior resident, not a subspecialist who frequents the neuropsychiatry/behavioral neurology literature. The chapter on alcohol is simply abysmal -- pages and pages on glutamate receptors in animals and nary a word to help the clinician. Korsakoff, Wernicke anyone? Wikipedia gives a better outline of the clinical effects of EtOH on the brain. Who is this chapter meant for? As a clinician I do not care about animal work on glutamate receptors and as a scientist, should I care to, I will find a review article on the subject. Herein lies the crux of the problem: This book satisfies neither the clinician nor the scientist. The former should see Moore's excellent, succinct, well-organized text, or a classic like Lishman (not the 09 edition which has not yet been reviewed to my knowledge and has major changes with respect to authorship) or Pinkus. For a more advanced text, see Mesulam. If you want an overview of the basic science in neuropsychiatry, see Kandel and Schwartz. See Trimble's book on the anatomy of neuropsychiatry.
I do not mean to be overly harsh but this is a pricey book and I do not think its price is justified. Was it simply tweaked for new edition?? Hurley and Taber's chapter looks remarkably similar to the previous edition. In summary, this book is a disappointment. One can see that the editors have a large number of publishing project so perhaps this undertaking did not receive the attention that it deserved. It is definitely not suitable for clinical or experimental work. I would like a refund.

5.0 out of 5 stars
ambitious undertaking par excellence,
This review is from: The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, Fifth Edition (American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Neuropsychiatry) (Hardcover)
StuartYudofsky,M.D.and Robert Hales,M.D.'s ambitious project of bringing the exciting and dramatically evolving disciplines of biologic psychiatry and behavioral neurology has been rendered magnificently both in breadth and depth in the assiduously crafted and edited fifth edition of the APP Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences. The textbook has been thoughtfully edited and produced so that clinicians from various disciplines can locate source material pertaining either to broad neurobehavioral disorders or to more specific behavioral-psychiatric symptoms. Whereas many textbooks that ambitiously attempt to cover both the neuroscience as well as clinical aspects of neurological disorders are uneven in there coverage and clarity, Yudofsky and Hales have done a masterful job of giving an in depth though succinct neuroscience background that informs the clinical and therapeutic discussions making this textbook the single most authoritative and clinically comprehensive text dealing with the behavioral neuroscience.
I am a neurological consultant at a traumatic brain injury unit and on receiving my copy( the text,figures and diagrams being first rate!)I carefully read Jonathan Silver, et.al chapter on the Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Traumatic Brain Injury which in addition to being superbly written gave a wealth of practical approaches and recommendations which were of value both to patients and their families as well as members of the multidisciplinary team. Those involved in teaching will find Harel, and Tranel's Functional Neuroanatomy: Neuropsychological Correlates of Cortical and Subcortical Damage and Ovsiew's Bedside Neuropsychiatry: Eliciting the Clinical Phenomena of Neuropsychiatric Illness having done the hard work of sifting through the voluminous literature to present a remarkably succinct and thorough discussion. With the APP making all figures and diagrams expertly rendered in CD-ROM format you are ready for lift off in giving well informed presentations Without reservation I would recommend this textbook to anyone interested in getting a bird's eye view of the exciting developments and their clinical application in the behavioral neurosciences. It is must reading for those interested in training and certification in neuropsychiatry/behavioral neurology. For a one reach resource it is the best buy (actually in light of its extensive and cutting edge coverage a bargain)for consulting neurologist, psychiatrist, neuropsychologist, cognitive- behavioral therapist.

3.0 out of 5 stars
I skipped this one,
This review is from: The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences, Fifth Edition (American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Neuropsychiatry) (Hardcover)
Tried to read in library several times, but can't force myself to swallow the boring pages. When written in succint and clarifying style, neuropsychiatry does not have that much to write to build this big a volume. If you have to write more, you have to put in a lot of he said she said trivia, and lose the intriguing story line. I just don't see this book is useful to any body - either clinicians or researchers.
