Reviews
Praise for the Previous Edition
"On the whole, this is a remarkable and epic piece of work that is both comprehensive and up to date. This textbook is now my first port of reference when faced with any clinical question and should become a standard reference text for anyone working or studying in the fields of neurology or psychiatry, paediatric or adult."
