Each chapter is designed to aid comprehension and learning with suggested readings, equipping the reader with the knowledge and skills to understand, assess, and treat those with mental health problems in the 21st Century. Expertly covering essential neuroscience topics with a clear emphasis on clinical relevance, this book is ideal for clinicians in psychiatry, psychology, and allied fields such as mental health nurses.
