Single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) is a relatively cheap and widely available instrument for the examination of brain perfusion, cerebral blood flow and activity of neurotransmitter systems. The European project "SPECT in dementia" sets out to overcome some of the factors holding back the development of clinical neuroimaging. It has developed a methodology for combining results from different imaging centres, at the same time making scan assessment more objective and powerful. Moreover, using objective voxel-based methods of image analysis improves the diagnostic performanc

Any drug that has an effect on illness also has the potential to demonstrate adverse effects. Therefore, it is critical for physicians and patients to weigh the potential benefits versus the potential harm that can be caused by a given treatment. This book applies this principle to the practice of clinical psychopharmacology, the use of biological treatment for psychiatric ailments. Classifying the drug-induced reactions into a disorder or syndrome oriented approach, this book is split in three sections. The first deals with general principles of therapeutics focusing on how to avoid or deal w

Does psychiatry have a future? Assailed from many directions, under constant attack for its reliance on "a drug for all problems" and increasingly unable to attract bright new trainees, the specialty is showing every sign of terminal decline. The reason is simple: modern psychiatry has no formal model of mental disorder to guide its daily practice, teaching and research. Unfortunately, the orthodox psychiatrists who control this most conservative profession are utterly antagonistic to criticism. Despite the evidence, they maintain a blind faith that "science will deliver the goods" by a bio
