Preface
In a narrow definition, neuropsychiatry deals with cognitive, emotional and behavioural problems of neurological disorders. We have asked eminent neuropsychiatrists from around the world to provide us with a case study that has taught them an important lesson or has influenced their clinical care. The result is a collection of cases that pay tribute to the diversity of neuropsychiatry. The case observations are meant to inspire the reader. We hope that they stimulate curiosity and further exploration. The book contains excellent examples of neuropsychiatric assessment and treatment approaches. However, we do not provide a comprehensive overview of neuropsychiatry, nor does the book contain the latest scientific discoveries. Neuropsychiatry has a long tradition in Europe. The discipline has now been established worldwide to provide the clinical skills that are required to link brain structure and function. The authors of this book come from three continents and ten different countries. They share an enthusiasm for neuropsychiatry, which we hope you will enjoy. Berlin, Germany Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK
