Editorial Reviews
Review
British Medicine suffers due to the rigid demarcation between neurology and psychiatry. This North American text bridges the neurology-psychiatry gulf very well. It covers comprehensively the various neuropsychiatric syndromes, and gives a full description of the neuropsychiatric manifestations of neurological diseases…an excellent single volume text.

The book is easy to read and provides a volme of information and yet concentrates on specific areas sufficiently to have practitioners be able to develope both diagnostic and therapeutic intervention techniques.
Southern England Psychological Services
The text is dense with references, and is not only very comprehensive, but also seems very up-to-date. It is easy to find one’s way around the text, which really serves not only as a textbook of neuropsychiatry, but also an excellent reference book…its concise style and user-friendly layout can be highly recommended.
Michael Trimble, Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica
Overall Dr. Moore is to be congratulated on producing a useful textbook. Two neuropsychiatric colleagues gave this book the thumbs up because Dr. Moore has achieved his aim of offering this book as a ready reference for established practitioners. It will be of interest to both neurologists and psychiatrists.
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry
…this is an impressive single-author publication…I would recommend this text for postgraduate students of psychiatry, neurology and clinical neuropsychology. In addition to a handful of other texts, most notably Lishman, the Textbook of Clinical Neuropsychiatry is likely to become essential reading and an invaluable source of reference for neuropsychiatrists.

…a valuable coverage of different neuropsychiatric disorders. The style is elegant and the text is clearly written. Over 4000 references are included.
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica
This is a very good book that compares favorably with … Organic Psychiatry by W.A. Lishman … It is eminently readable, well organized, and thorough… The descriptions of clinical features are simply brilliant. In very clear and concise terms, Moore brings neuropsychiatry alive.
American Journal of Psychiatry
This book is comprehensive and up to date … (and) accomplishes its objective, especially in providing a reliable text dealing with common and rare neuropsychiatric conditions and in giving an up-to-date semeiology, pathophysiology, and treatment for each condition.
