Product Description
This is a new edition of the first comprehensive text to show how the advances in molecular and cellular biology and in the basic neurosciences have brought the revolution in molecular medicine to the field of psychiatry.
The book begins with a review of basic neuroscience and methods for studying neurobiology in human patients then proceeds to discussions of all major psychiatric syndromes with respect to knowledge of their etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment. Emphasis is placed on synthesizing information across numerous levels of analysis, including molecular biology and genetics, cellular physiology, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, and behavior, and in translating information from the basic laboratory to the clinical laboratory and finally to clinical treatment.
Editors Dennis Charney and Eric Nestle, along with their six section editors and over 150 contributors, have revised and updated all 80 chapters from the previous edition and have added new chapters on topics relating to, for example, genetics, experimental therapeutics, and late-life mood disorders. Both a textbook and a reference book, Neurobiology of Mental Illness is intended for psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and their students of trainees.

Great "Encyclopedia" of biological psychiatry October 13, 2005
Jason Lunden (Newport Beach, CA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a huge book that covers every question that you may have about biological psychiatry, and even some that you haven't. As a graduate student in Neuroscience, I have found it invaluable as a theoretical reference.
The only downside is that it covers so much information, that it can be difficult to read on your own. I wish that I a class offered at my school that used this book.
Wonderful book for clinical neuroscience June 8, 2005
M. Davis (Washington, DC)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is wonderful. It begins with a section explaining many of the basics of neuroscience, which can be used as a reference for psychologists that are not schooled in neuroscience. There are sections for each of the most highly researched psychiatric and neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer's disease. I used this book as a (non-required) supplement to a neuropsychology seminar. The rest of the class relied solely on the content of the journal articles they were reviewing. With the aid of this book, I stood out as the teacher's pet. The information in this text pulls together research in the field in a way that is not done elsewhere. I noticed quite a few typos, which was surprising given that it wasn't the first edition and it cost so much. The content more than makes up for it, however, and I strongly recommend this book.
