“This volume might be best used as an addition to an advanced psychopathology for graduate students and psychiatry residents. … the authors include an appendix with suggested teaching objectives and exercises. It will also be of use and of interest to practitioners and researchers. There is much of intellectual and clinical value in this volume. Wasserman and Wasserman do us a great service in challenging the status quo and in developing a true neuropsychological model of psychopathology and its treatment.” (Jerry Gold, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (7), February, 2017)
