Comprehensive in scope, this indispensable reference provides up-to-date clinical information on the psychiatry of stroke and vascular dementia. Health professionals and families of stroke patients alike will find practical advice on managing common behavioral and emotional disturbances that arise in stroke. Dr. Birkett attempts to bridge the gap between neuropsychiatry's emphasis on the physical foundations of stroke-related syndromes and social psychiatry's focus on the interpersonal and socioeconomic consequences of stroke. "The Psychiatry of Stroke" demonstrates how mental impairment sets limits to stroke treatment and rehabilitation and provides guidelines for evaluating and treating stroke patients. The book is divided into three sections that explore the background and causative factors of stroke, describe the specific syndromes resulting from stroke, and examine the outcome and psychosocial consequences of stroke. Appendixes provide a basic anatomy of stroke, a listing of valuable resources for family caregivers, and a provocative sketch examining the effects of stroke on some major 20th century leaders. A glossary of technical terms is included.
