Behavioral Neurology
Since the 3rd edition of this book there have been so many important developments in the study of brain/behavior relationships that the current edition represents an entirely new book. We have maintained the structured of the first three editions, which in the past has made this best selling book the most comprehensive and accessible source of information on behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry.
Medical-Psychiatric Practice
This volume is the third in a series of succinct, analytical reviews of advances in the psychiatric care of medically ill patients. Like the previous volumes, Medical-Psychiatric Practice, Volume 3 is designed to continually update the busy clinician on research and practical developments in medical psychiatry. Under the guidance of an eminent editorial advisory board, this volume addresses several specific clinical problems that require an integrated medical-psychiatric approach to their diagnosis and treatment. It includes an in-depth discussion of psychopharmacokinetics as well as an update on psychopharmacology in medically ill patients.
Clinical Manual of Neuropsychiatry
Clinical Manual of Neuropsychiatry focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of the full spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders, as well as those conditions that have significant neuropsychiatric components. With the help of this highly practical manual, clinicians are empowered to evaluate patients and treat the neuropsychiatric aspects of a host of disorders. The manual: Sets forth a concise, step-by-step approach to assessing patients, by beginning with the indications for a neuropsychological evaluation, and progressing through the patient interview, physical examination, and measures that are useful diagnostic indicators, such as psychological testing and structural and functi...
Suicide Attempts
The military physician is frequently confronted by patients who have made a suicide attempt. In an attempt to clarify the significance of these suicide attempts in the military, all patients who had made a suicide attempt in a nine-month period, and who were seen by the psychiatric staff of the U.S. Naval Aviation Medical Center, were retrospectively studied (N = 42). The suicide group was compared on 35 demographic, historical, and clinical variables to two control populations: (1) randomly selected psychiatric in-patients (N = 20) who did not make a suicide attempt; (2) well-adjusted enlisted men seen for administrative screening evaluations (N = 30). The suicide group and the psychiatric control group were followed 9 to 18 months after initial psychiatric contact. All data were statistically analyzed. From these data emerged statistically significant guidelines for the evaluation, treatment, and disposition of suicidal patients by the military psychiatrist.
The Experience of Science
Our earlier book, How We Know: An Exploration of the Scientific Process, was written to give some conception of what the scientific approach is like, how to recognize it, how to distinguish it from other approaches to understanding the world, and to give some feeling for the intellectual excitement and aesthetic satisfactions of science. These goals represented our concept of the term "scientific literacy." Though the book was written for the general reader, to our surprise and gratification it was also used as a text in about forty colleges, and some high schools, for courses in science for the non-scientist, in methodology of science for social and behavioral sciences, and in the philosoph...

The Currents of Lethal Violence
Building on past work, the authors outline an integrated model for linking suicide and homicide and show how that research from this perspective can further our understanding of violence. Specifically, they show that research based on this model provides new insights into how structural and cultural factors combine to produce high homicide levels in the American South and cross-national difference in lethal violence rates. In conclusion, they evaluate the model's utility, address possible criticisms of this perspective, and suggest avenues for further investigations of lethal violence.
