Bringing the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience to the clinician, this text provides resident and practicing psychiatrists with a comprehensive, clinically relevant overview of the brain mechanisms underlying behavior and mental illness. The book presents an integrated perspective on the structures and workings of the brain, the mechanisms governing behaviors such as pleasure, aggression, and intelligence, and the pathophysiology of mental disorders.

در مورد کتاب درسی که بخاطرش بیدار موندم چون خوندنش برام لذت بخش بود چی باید بگم؟
اگر شما هم حس می‌کنید علم رو دوست دارید ولی درسای دانشگاه و مدرسه داره علاقتون رو تخریب می‌کنه،پیشنهاد می‌کنم فصلهایی از این کتاب رو که براتون جالبه بخونید(البته که همش خیلی جالب و جذابه و همونقدر جذاب هم نوشته شده(
باشد تا افراد بیشتری دیدشون به روانپزشکی مثل دکتر هیگینز باشه

Easy to read. Fascinating information. Wonderful illustrations. Clinically relevent. What more could you ask for? I look forward to the next edition!

A very good introduction in neuroscience. Simple language and up-to-date review of the discipline. The conversational style of writing made the book fun to read. I recommend it to anyone new to the field.

This is a fairly comprehensive, but also concise, survey of clinical neuroscience. It is interesting, and reasonably easy to grasp and remember. I used it for several rounds of instruction for psychiatry residents with good success.
