This CD-ROM provides instant access to the "classic teaching text" in neurology. "Adams and Victor" continues as the most successful and widely-used text reference in neurology. It's all here-the entire text, tables, and illustrations-providing the neuroscientific background, clinical description, diagnosis, and treatment of the full range of neurologic disorders. This edition features a new art program and updated treatment guidelines throughout, especially acute care neurology (seizures, strokes, trauma, etc.) and neuromuscular diseases. Also look for expanded sections on autonomic diseases, neuropathy, degenerative diseases, and headache.
Clinicians who read this volume will be richly awarded by an expanded understanding of their patients and the therapeutic process.
Review of the hardback: 'This is the first publication in the field to call itself a textbook …' Lancet
Review of the hardback: 'Bhugra and Bhui's edited volume is a superb work of scholarship: a great achievement. … It has been exceedingly well edited; all chapters are well written, without overlap of content and each begins with an editorial introduction putting the contribution into context. … Empathy and the ability to enable patients to tell us their stories are the skills that separate psychiatrists from the rest of the medical profession: this book serves as an aid to those skills and demonstrates the complexity of what a realistic scientific psychopathology has to engage with and the level of art clinicians have to aspire to. Given that all psychiatry must be cultural psychiatry, this book is recommended to all clinicians and given its high academic content, will be of great value to many researchers, particularly those interested in epidemiology for their service to psychiatry.'
