  • Catatonia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by motor, affective and cognitive-behavioral symptoms, presenting significant challenges for both psychiatrists and neurologists. It occurs in 5–18% of patients in inpatient psychiatric units and in 3.3% of those in neurology or neuropsychiatric tertiary care inpatient settings. Despite its relatively high prevalence, catatonia is often underdiagnosed and inadequately treated, which can lead to substantial disadvantages for patients and may be associated with potentially life-threatening conditions. This comprehensive guide is designed to assist clinicians, researchers, and students in understanding and treating catatonia. It navigates through the history of the condition, exploring its phenomenology, clinical manifestations and pathophysiology, before delving into effective treatment strategies. By providing a clear and thorough overview, this guide simplifies the recognition of catatonia and promotes prompt and accurate treatment, encouraging future research endeavours in catatonia.

  • Most people who develop dementia will never be diagnosed, and therefore lack access to treatment and care from specialists in the field. This new edition provides updated guidance on how behavioral symptom reflect the changes occurring in the brain, and how these can help generalist clinicians to accurately diagnose neurodegenerative diseases. This practical book is aimed at healthcare professionals working in neurology, psychiatry and neuropsychology wanting to enhance the skills and knowledge needed to successfully manage these diseases. Simple approaches to bedside mental status testing, differential diagnosis and treatment, and interpreting neuropsychological testing and neuroimaging findings are covered. Introductory chapters outline dementia epidemiology and dementia neuropathology whilst chapters new to this edition describe the improvements in diagnostic capabilities in recent years, including blood based and cerebrospinal biomarkers and emerging biologically based therapies. Chapters on sleep disorders, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy and traumatic brain injury have also been expanded.

  • This essential, concept-oriented book provides a highly integrative and translational approach to addiction, offering a deep understanding of the condition and its close biological-causal-developmental linkage with mental illness. The book explains addiction around five fundamental components that define disease: 1) Population Impact; 2) Symptom Sets; 3) Disorder of Anatomical Structure and Function; 4) Biological Risk Amplification; and 5) Diagnosis and Treatment. Key evidence and concepts from basic neuroscience are translated to epidemiological, clinical-observational, and treatment levels. The book discusses the broad reach and potent clinical capabilities of addiction psychiatry teams using integrative diagnostics and multi-dimensional treatment plans for patients across the entire addiction-mental illness spectrum. It introduces science-based psychotherapies, therapeutic experiences, medication and neurostimulatory treatments used by addiction psychiatrists in different settings to advance patients through all stages of recovery. An illustrated foundation for advanced undergraduates, physicians, allied clinicians, and scientists entering brain-behavioural health fields.

  • The concept of doppelgänger, or 'double' – a conceived exact but sometimes invisible replica of a living person – has fascinated and intrigued people for centuries. This notion has a long history and is a widespread belief among cultural groups around the world. Doppelgängers have influenced literature and cinema, with writers such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Robert Louis Stevenson, and directors like Alfred Hitchcock exploring the phenomenon to great effect. This book brings together the literary and cinematic with empirical scientific literature to raise fundamental questions about the nature of the self and the human mind. It aims to establish the experience of the self and unravel the brain processes that determine bodily representation and the errors that make possible the experience of the doppelgänger phenomenon. This book will appeal to psychiatrists, neurologists, and neuroscientists, as well as interested general readers.
