Rezensionen
"This book provides a much needed review of the latest clinical recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of the mood, cognitive, and behavioral abnormalities seen in these disorders. ... This is a valuable resource for clinicians who treat patients with movement disorders. ... It also provides useful strategies that can assist clinicians with choosing appropriate pharmacological therapies, subsequent medication monitoring, and patient counseling, while thoroughly examining the evidence guiding these recommendations."
