Unique in approach and authority and illustrated with informative case histories, Behavior and Mood Disorders in Focal Brain Lesions, first published in 2000, makes a major contribution to understanding the relationship between focal brain disorders and emotional and behavioural symptoms, summarising the current state of research and providing the basis for improved patient care. This is the first clinical reference work to address specifically the relationship of focal brain dysfunction to behavioral and emotional disorders, giving the most comprehensive account available of these manifestations of brain lesions including stroke, trauma, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and even neurosurgery. A worldwide team of neuroscientists and clinicians examines the links between regional brain dysfunction and disorders of mood, thought and affect processing, and behaviour. Chapters are devoted to methodological issues, to lesions of specific sites, such as the frontal lobes, basal ganglia and thalamus, and to symptoms such as mood disorder, violent behaviour and anosognosia.

Doody's Review Service ® "...there is no comparable text that covers this important topic." British Journal of Psychiatry "Medical students, residents and clinicians seeking to generate a broad differential diagnosis for specific psychiatric disturbances, particularly those that accompany neurological diseases, will find having this book useful as a reference. No matter if you start with the "where the lesions is" or "what the lesion is" approach, you will be able to find a quick and useful review of the relationship between these two clinicial questions. For those with more theorectical interests of the complexities of nueral systems underlying mood and behavior, this text provides a good beginning." The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences "A valuable survey of current research." Neuroradiology--DESCRIPTION: Behavior and Mood Disorders in Focal Brain Lesions takes a unique approach to presenting the emotional and behavioral consequences of focal lesions affecting the brain to summarize the current state of research and provide a basis for improved patient care.
