Neuromodulation in Psychiatry

Neuromodulation in Psychiatry

This is the first comprehensive and detailed reference work that focuses on neuromodulation strategies in psychiatry. Neuromodulation strategies are no longer confined to tertiary hospitals but are used in community practices and even by individual psychiatrists. Surgery for psychiatric disorders is one of the main advances in the field of functional neurosurgery.

Neuromodulation in psychiatry includes chapters on the history of this controversial field and the ethics of modern usage of such techniques. Specific chapters are devoted to neuromodulation and surgical strategies used in psychiatry including transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, direct cortical stimulation and deep brain stimulation. A chapter describes the basic principles of each techniques, using figures and schematics to illustrate details for people who do not have personal experience of using these techniques. Another chapter then focuses on the results of clinical research, trials and applications for that strategy.

Written by an expert multidisciplinary editorial team across the fields of neurosurgery, psychiatry and neurology, this title:

• Encompasses basic principles, technical aspects and clinical applications including ethical considerations
• Clearly explains each technique with implications for clinical practice
• Presents evidence in a comprehensive summary suitable for all levels
• Allows psychiatrists to evaluate results obtained using such strategies and to make decisions regarding the best course of treatment for their patients

An essential reference guide for psychiatrists, psychologists neurosurgeons, neurologists and respective trainees.

The book is the first comprehensive reference work to cover all neuromodulation strategies now used or with potential use in psychiatry. It allows psychiatrists to evaluate results obtained using such strategies and to make decision regarding the best course of treatment for their patients.
