NEUROMODULATION IN PSYCHIATRY

Edited by an expert multidisciplinary team, Neuromodulation in Psychiatry is the first reference guide to address both invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation strategies used in psychiatry.

• Covers basic principles, technical aspects, clinical applications and ethical considerations
• Presents up-to-date evidence in comprehensive summaries suitable for all levels of experience
• Each technique is clearly explained along with its implications for real-world clinical practice
• Allows psychiatrists to make informed decisions regarding neuromodulation for their patients
