It could have been an amazing read, unfortunately the author doesn't know rules of English grammar and every other sentence is not only incorrect, but, most importantly, ambiguous...

Trata en profundidad las alteraciones psicólogas y emocionales, con gran detalle en la patogénesis y la diferenciación de síndromes. Muy recomendable.
