Swaab Жанр: Neurology Формат: PDF Качество: OCR Описание: We are pleased to present, for the first time, a volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series devoted exclusively to psychiatric disorders. It is true that Volumes 45 and 46 of the second series - on Clinical Neuropsychology and Neurobehavioral Disorders - had a few chapters that dealt with aspects of the major psychiatric disorders, but these were limited in scope and number. The volumes were published in 1985, when there was still a strict separation and even animosity between the fields of neurology and psychiatry. George W. Bruyn, one of the founders of the HCN series, however, was not convinced of any fundamental difference between these two disciplines and stated boldly that, “psychiatry is nothing but unexplained neurology.”
