Volume 106 of the Handbook of Clinical Neurology reviews the science behind the major psychiatric disorders and their treatment. Early chapters cover the history of psychiatry and neuroscience, synaptic signaling, genetics, emotion, structural and functional imaging, animal models and epidemiology. Later chapters take the disorders one at a time, including depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism and substance use.
It is a reference for clinicians and researchers. Neurofeedback and QEEG practitioners can use it to check, condition by condition, what is known about the biology of the problems their clients bring.
