"Neurobiology of Mental Illness, however, truly stands out as an integrative piece of work....Charney, Nestler, and Bunney have done majestic editorial work.... This volume will undoubtedly become a primary reference source for scientists interested in neuropsychiatric disorders and cliniciansinterested in their neural bases." --Nervous and Mental Disease, "The editors deserve tremendous credit for compiling a most usefulreference text, and I am not aware of a similar textbook that is anywhere ascomprehensive, up-to-date, or focused on the basic science of our field."--American Journal of Psychiatry, "Neurobiology of Mental Illness, however, truly stands out as anintegrative piece of work....Charney, Nestler, and Bunney have done majesticeditorial work....

The book differs from most of its predecessors in itsappreciation that neurobiology needs to account for the psychopathologicaleffects of stress and adversity.

Synopsis
Advances in molecular and cellular biology and in the basic neurosciences are now bringing the revolution in molecular medicine to the field of psychiatry. This is the first comprehensive text to chart that progress. In 70 clear and concise chapters it describes the current state of knowledge about the neurobiological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders and shows how this information has the potential to dramatically improve treatment and ultimately lead to prevention. The text has been written by world-renowned experts in basic neuroscience and the pathophysiology and treatment of psychiatric disorders. It begins with a succinct overview of the basic neurosciences followed by an evaluation of the tools that are available for the study of mental disorders in humans. The core of the book is a series of consistently organized sections on the major psychiatric disorders that cover their diagnostic classification, molecular genetics, functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry and pharmacology, neuroimaging, and principles of pharmacotherapy. Chapters are written in a clear style that is easily accessible to practicing psychiatrists, and yet they are detailed enough to interest researchers and academics. Both as a textbook and a reference work, Neurobiology of Mental Illness represents a uniquely valuable resource for psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and their students or trainees., Advances in molecular and cellular biology and in the basic neurosciences are now bringing the revolution in molecular medicine to the field of psychiatry.

    The packaging was terrific. Item as described arrived in 1 piece. The item arrived quickly and it was a great value. I really get annoyed at folks who hike the prices either by offering at a lower price and adding an exceptionally and outrageously inflated shipping and handling, or simply offering free shipping for an item that way out of line of the item's value point. .
