Description
Intended not only for the neurologist or psychiatrist, but for all physicians, describes methods for performing mental status evaluation that reflect new knowledge concerning disorders of the higher functions--specification of anatomic systems involved in different behaviors, and increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying disordered function. Guidelines for brief screening are included, among them a shortened form of the examination for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
