Editorial Reviews

This new edition of an old standard comes as does a lovely breath of fresh air into an enclosed room that has become rather crowded and somewhat musty. It is hard to believe that 30 years have passed since the first edition of this book, but we now recognize the importance of that publication as a landmark in clinical neuroscience thinking. The fact that it has now run through four editions (this text is updated from the third edition, published in 1985) attests to the popularity of the book among behavioral neuroscience students and the continuing relevance of the book for clinical practice . . . it stands with its predecessors as one of the substantial cornerstones upholding the temple of behavioral neurology . . ." —Michael R. Trimble in The American Journal of Psychiatry
