About this book
This work is a collection of Carl Wenicke’s lectures on neuropsychiatry translated into English for the first time. Beginning with basic concepts about normal brain function, the book moves to clinical topics, dealing first with chronic mental disorders and 'paranoid states', and then to the more complex area of acute mental disorders. Many of the featured topics are still clinically relevant, and matters of contemporary debate. Carl Wernicke is one of the pioneers of neurology and psychiatry; clinicians, researchers and historians will find this of great interest.
Reviews
“The intended audience was originally Wernicke's trainees and contemporaries. Now, neurologists, psychiatrists, behavioral neurologists and neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and historians of neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience would be greatly interested in this work. … This is an outstanding translation of the clinical lectures of a pioneer in modern neuropsychiatry. Anyone interested in the brain and behavior would enjoy reading this magnificent work.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)
