The Neuropsychiatry of Personality Disorders
Ratey J. (ed) [London: Blackwell Science, 1994]

This title in the "Neuropsychiatry" series discusses the neurological and psychiatric basis and treatment possibilities of anti-social behaviour and other personality disorders, both idiopathic and those associated with substance abuse, attention deficit, schizophrenia, frontal and temporal lobe epilepsy. This reflects the awareness of the structural, biochemical and pharmacologic interactions of this group of patients. Although the subject is firmly grounded in science, the approach is practical and should be of relevance to the clinician in his or her daily practice.

   

Mental Retardation: Developing Pharmacotherapies
Ratey J. (ed) [American Psychiatric Association Press, 1991]

This volume is designed to further our understanding of the pharmacologic treatability of the mental illnesses that individuals with mental retardation often display. The book shows patients can benefit from pharmacological interventions that are part of a multisystems approach to treatment, the aim of which is to maintain or increase the cognitive functioning of the individual. In this respect, pharmacologic and polypharmacologic approaches are sought to provide more efficacious, less toxic treatment regimens for these patients. New insights into the nature of neurological disturbance in mental retardation are presented, and the book offers a practical guide to the treatment of developmentally disabled people.
