Editorial Reviews
Michael J. Schrift
This is an outstanding and comprehensive textbook covering the current state of progress in the neurobiological mechanisms involved in neuropsychiatric disorders. Edited and authored by internationally recognized researchers, this is an exceptionally valuable contribution to this field. The purpose, according to the editors, is to track the evolving progress in the neurobiological basis of psychiatric illness and further the maturation of psychiatry as a modern medical specialty. The have certainly succeeded in their goal. The intended audience is psychiatrists and other mental health workers. It should be mandatory reading for residents in psychiatrist training programs. Part I is an overview of the basic neuroscientific underpinnings of psychiatry. Part 2 is a review of the ""tools that are currently available to study mental illness in humans."" The remaining sections cover such topics as dementia and childhood neuropsychiatric disorders. The sections begin with a critical overview of the diagnostic categories and the subsequent chapters are reviews of animal models, with current theories regarding the biological basis of specific psychopathologies followed by the neurobiological basis for treatment. Each chapter ends with up-to-date and useful references. The book ends with a useful index. This is an extremely valuable textbook on the biological basis of psychiatry. Clinicians and researchers as well as trainees will, without a doubt, benefit from reading and referring to it.New England Journal of Medicine
This is not a how-to book for diagnosis and treatment, nor should it be regarded as offering an overview of schools of thought in modern psychiatry. It is, rather, a reference book on the neurobiologic underpinnings of our concepts of psychiatric illness. It should find a place on the shelf of practitioners in mental health-related fields, since it will help them interpret the reports they will see in the future on genetic and neuroanatomical abnormalities in their patients.From The Critics
Reviewer: Michael Joel Schrift, D.O., M.A.(University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine)Description: This is the third edition of this outstanding and comprehensive book covering the progress made in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in neuropsychiatric disorders. Written and edited by the major researchers in psychiatry, this outstanding book remains a significant and important contribution to the field.
Purpose: The purpose is to update readers on the enormous advances that have been made in neuroscience related to psychiatric disorders. The editors state, "The field stands poised to make dramatic advances in defining disease pathogenesis, developing diagnostic methods capable of identifying specific and valid disease entities, discovering novel and more effective treatments, and ultimately preventing psychiatric disorders."
Audience: The intended audience is psychiatrists, psychologists, trainees in psychiatry, psychology, and neuroscience, as well as mental health workers who want to know what modern psychiatry is about.
Features: This edition is significantly revised, but continues to be divided into nine parts, now with 80 chapters, seven more than the second edition. Part 1 is an overview of basic neuroscience. Part 2 covers methods of clinical neurobiological research with chapters on such topics as epidemiology, molecular genetics, psychophysiology, neurochemistry, neuroimmunology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging. Parts 3 through 8 review the neurobiological aspects of psychoses, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse disorders, dementia, and childhood onset disorders. Part 9 contains very interesting chapters on neuropsychiatry, personality, aggression, sexual dysfunction, social attachment, eating disorders, menstrual-related mood disorders, circadian rhythms, sleep, and the neurobiology of resilience. Each chapter ends with relevant and timely citations.
Assessment: This book is an outstanding testament to the effort made towards a fundamental understanding of psychiatric disorders. The third edition is an excellent and extensive update on the biological basis of psychiatric disorders. Every psychiatrist should read and refer to this book. It covers the basis of modern psychiatry.
From the Publisher
"As psychiatric diagnoses continue to be hotly debated, the Fourth Edition of this mainstay volume reminds the field of our deeper understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of the brain, just a decade after the first Edition was published. This completely revamped Edition highlights articles by leaders in the fields of psychiatry and neuroscience and offers intelligent insights into how neuroscience may impact how we will diagnose and treat individuals suffering from mental illness in the very near future. The book continues to be a tour de force."

President, American Psychiatric Association, 2012
"The editors have compiled an outstanding and comprehensive overview of the biological basis of mental illness including detailed descriptions of state-of-the-art molecular, cellular, and circuit methodologies in animals and people that will lead the field to improved diagnostic tests and treatments for these debilitating conditions. This book is an important resource for those interested in entering the field as well as for accomplished researchers and practitioners."

Dennis S. Charney, MD is Dean at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, and Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Pharmacology & Systems Therapeutics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, NY. He is a world expert in the neurobiology and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders. He has made fundamental contributions to the understanding of neural circuits and neurochemistry related to human anxiety, fear, mood and discovery of new treatment for mood and anxiety disorders. He later expanded this area into pioneering research related to the psychobiological mechanisms of human resilience to stress. His work has been carried out over two decades at Yale University School of Medicine, and during four years at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It continues today at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Joseph D. Buxbaum, PhD, is a Professor of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Genetics and Genomic Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he is also director of the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment. He is a world-renowned molecular geneticist and spearheads research into human psychiatric and neurological diseases. As Vice Chair for Research in Psychiatry, Dr. Buxbaum helps set the research direction for the Department, which is ranked among the top 20 psychiatry departments in the country in NIH funding.
Pamela Sklar, MD, received her BA from St. John's College and her MD and PhD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Neuroscience. She is a neuroscientist, human geneticist and clinical psychiatrist investigating the genetic causes of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. A major focus of her prior work has been to identify susceptibility genes for psychiatric diseases by applying tools developed for understanding and characterizing human sequence variation. Currently, she is Chief of the Division of Psychiatric Genomics, and Professor of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, Genetics and Genomic Sciences.
Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD, received his BA, MD, and PhD degrees from Yale University. He then served on the Yale faculty, where he was named the Elizabeth Mears and House Jameson Professor of Psychiatry of Neurobiology and Director of the Abraham Ribicoff Research Facilities. In 2000, Dr. Nestler was named the McGinley Professor of Psychiatry and Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, before accepting his current position at Mount Sinai in 2008. Dr. Nestler has been a pioneer in the field of molecular psychiatry, whose research has helped us understand the molecular mechanisms of addiction and depression based on work in animal models.
