DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and
Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cf18c0/lishmans_organic) has
announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Lishman's
Organic Psychiatry: A Textbook of Neuropsychiatry" to their offering.

"The third edition of the now-classic text Organic Psychiatry by William Alwyn
Lishman should be a part of every neuropsychiatrist's library. It should also
serve as a reminder that neuropsychiatric training programs must continue to
promote personal clinical instruction, in the spirit of Lishman's prose, as a
guiding bedside beacon to future practitioners." - from a review of the third
edition in Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences

Over the past 30 years, thousands of physicians have depended on Lishman's
Organic Psychiatry. Its authoritative and reliable clinical guidance was - and
still is - beyond compare.

The new edition of this classic textbook has now been extensively revised by a
team of five authors, yet it follows the tradition of the original
single-authored book. It continues to provide a comprehensive review of the
cognitive, emotional and behavioural consequences of cerebral disorders and
their manifestations in clinical practice. Enabling clinicians to formulate
incisive diagnoses and appropriate treatment strategies, Lishman's Organic
Psychiatry is an invaluable source of information for practising psychiatrists,
neurologists and trainees.

This new edition:

* covers recent theoretical and clinical developments, with expanded sections on
neuropsychology and neuroimaging
* includes a new chapter on sleep disorders whilst the chapters on Alzheimer's
disease and related dementias, Epilepsy, Movement disorders and Traumatic brain
injury have been extensively revised reflecting the greatly improved
understanding of their underlying pathophysiologies
* showcases the huge advances in brain imaging and important discoveries in the
fields of molecular biology and molecular genetics
* has been enhanced with the inclusion of more tables and illustrations to aid
clinical assessment
* incorporates important diagnostic tools such as magnetic resonance brain
images.
