Publisher's Notes
Edited by two eminent practitioners and educators, the TEXTBOOK OF GERIATRIC NEUROPSYCHIATRY'S 41 chapters are divided into five major sections. Following a comprehensive introduction to geriatric neuropsychiatry, the editors include detailed chapters about neuropsychiatric assessment and neuropsychiatric aspect of psychiatric disorder and neurological disease in the elderly. They conclude with a discussion of the principles of neuropsychiatric treatment of the elderly. Exhaustively researched and annotated, this wide-ranging textbook provides a definitive core reference for psychiatry and neurology residents, particularly those pursing a specialty in geriatrics and for graduate students in psychology, neuropsychology, and related fields.

Looking for Spinoza
by Antonio Damasio
Completing the trilogy that began with Descartes' Error and continued with The Feeling of What Happens, noted neuroscientist Antonio Damasio now focuses the full force of his research and wisdom on emotions. He shows how joy and sorrow are cornerstones of our survival. As he investigates the cerebral mechanisms behind emotions and feelings, Damasio argues that the internal regulatory processes not only preserve life within ourselves, but they create, motivate, and even shape our greatest cultural accomplishments. If Descartes declared a split between mind and body, Spinoza not only unified the two but intuitively understood the role of emotions in human survival and culture. So it is Spinoza who accompanies Damasio as he journeys back to the seventeenth century in search of a philosopher who, in Damasio's view, prefigured modern neuroscience. In Looking for Spinoza Damasio brings us closer to understanding the delicate interaction between affect, consciousness, and memory--the processes that both keep us alive and make life worth living.
A User's Guide to the Brain

With his acclaimed Shadow Syndromes and the bestselling Driven to Distraction , Harvard professor John J. Ratey has been at the forefront in explaining the current revolution in the neurosciences. In this new work, he guides us through the brain’s workings and its role in our behavior. Recent discoveries have revealed the brain to be a malleable organ capable of improvement and change, like any muscle. As a result, specific motor functions can be applied to overcome neural disorders ranging from autism to everyday shyness. In A User’s Guide to the Brain , John Ratey not only lucidly explains the intricacies of the brain and its functions, but he also paves the way for a profoundly better understanding of ourselves and our world.
