Neuropsychology, Neuropsychiatry, and Behavioral Neurology Paperback / softback

This book is written for the clinician, students, and practitioners of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, and behavioral neurology.

It has been my intent throughout to present a synthesis of ideas and research findings.

I have reviewed thousands of articles and research reports and have drawn extensively from diverse sources in philosophy, psychol­ ogy, neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, physiology, and neuroanatomy in order to produce this text.

Of course I have also drawn from my own experience as a clinician and research scientist in preparing this work and in this regard some of my own biases and interests are represented.

I have long sought to understand the human mind and the phenomena we experience as conscious awareness.

After many years of studying a variety of Western and Eastern psychologists and philosophers, including the Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophical systems, I began, while still an undergraduate student, to formulate my own theory of the mind.

I felt, though, that what I had come upon were only pieces of half the puzzle.

What I knew of the brain was minimal. Indeed, it came as quite a surprise when one day I came across the journal Brain as I was browsing through the periodicals section of the library.

I was awed. An entire journal devoted to the brain was quite a revelation.

Nevertheless, although intrigued by the possibilities, I resisted.
