Fountoulakis K.N., Nimatoudis I. (eds.) Psychobiology of Behaviour

New York: Springer, 2019. — 466 p.This book is a comprehensive textbook of the psychobiology of behavior. It is written primarily for mental health professionals in general, doctors of various specialties outside mental health and students of medicine, psychologists and others who are interested in this topic. The editors apparently had in mind also particularly GPs who are increasingly faced with mental health or psychological or behavioral problems of their patients. Prof. Fountoulakis, who has written three chapters in this book, and the other authors had the vastly different tasks and needs of different groups in mind, considering multiple levels of details and depth.
Since the editors are both academic researchers and active doctors in everyday clinical practice, they could best meet the very demanding challenge of summarising the extensive research results in this field in a way that is digestible by the target group of readersThe Human Connectome: Functional Anatomy of the Brain
