| Abstract: | As scientific knowledge grows about the role of the brain in mental disorder, no clinician can afford to be ignorant about neurobiology. From leading practitioner and educator Steven R. Pliszka, this accessible primer provides the basic grounding in neuroscience that all contemporary mental health professionals need. The book guides the reader through the nuts-and-bolts of neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and psychiatric genetics, then applies this knowledge to the study of a range of frequently encountered clinical problems. Chapters illuminate the neurobiological underpinnings of ADHD, aggression and substance abuse, mood and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and learning and cognitive disorders, giving particular attention to the impact of psychosocial risk factors on the brain. Also examined are ways that effective interventions--both pharmacological and psychological--have been shown to alter brain chemistry as they bring about a reduction in symptoms. |
