Concise Guide to Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology Reviews

This book serves as a useful guide for clinicians to better appreciate a variety of neuropsychiatric manifestations and syndromes and to generate a more expansive differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with psychopathology. The authors' goal of consolidating the wealth of information in this field into a more easily accessible format is both a worthy and well-executed objective.

Strengths of this work include clinically high-yield comparative tables, diagnostic algorithms, and multiple figures correlating neuropsychiatric syndromes with various etiologies throughout. The writing is succinct yet informative and easily accessible for quicker reference when needed. The inclusion of specific assessments that may be used to evaluate different frontal lobe syndromes offers an example of the breadth of useful information in this book. Shortcomings include rare typos and lack of color in anatomic diagrams. The section on limbic encephalitis offers useful updates regarding the most common identified antibodies, but the addition of a more comprehensive table with other currently identified antibodies may have strengthened this section.

This guide to neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology is an excellent book with a multitude of clinical pearls in a format that is easy to carry and reference.
