Riassunto

As scientific knowledge about the biological influences on mental disorders increases, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders are changing to reflect this new understanding. Psychobiological Foundations of Psychiatric Care presents the essential information for psychiatric nurses to understand the biological bases underlying human behaviour and mental illness. The book is divided into two parts. Part I details neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with many full-colour drawings, photographs, and brain scan images. Part II discusses the psychobiology of the major mental disorders together with the behavioural manifestations and clinical implications of each disorder. This reference provides comprehensive information nurses need to know to care for patients with psychiatric disorders in the "Decade of the Brain".
