Biological Basis and Therapy of Neuroses - 9781315891149

CRC Press

The text comprises a structured anaylsis of the organic compunds relevant to the conception, and therapeutic treatment of, neuroses. > Paradoxically, it is the termneurosis more than perhaps any other which has the implication of organic basis. Possibly the popular but erroneous belief that it implies impeded systematic biological research in this area. On scrutiny, it becomes obvious that there is considerable evidence for a biological basis to these hitherto ignored conditions. This book endeavours to present this information in a systematic manner. > 1. Neurobiology of Anxiety 2. The Biological Status of Neurotic Depression 3. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder 4. Hysteria 5.
