"Drs. Cummings and Trimble have done it again--they've distilled an enormous amount of clinical and scientific data into an eminently readable 'how to' of clinical neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology. Both students and practitioners will find this text an aptly named 'Concise Guide' to the assessment and management of the major neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral syndromes."-- "C.

"Two of our most distinguished neuropsychiatrists have teamed up again to write one of the most useful neuropsychiatry texts ever published. It is always difficult to find a relatively brief overview of a subspecialty area in psychiatry and neurology that is useful to medical students, residents, as well as experienced clinicians. This compact, well-organized, easy-to-read text is full of clinically useful summaries and tables. It should be read by every medical student, resident and fellow in neuropsychiatry."-- "Robert G. Robinson, M.D., The Paul W. Penningroth Professor and Head of Psychiatry, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa"
