A veteran psychiatrist based in North Carolina, Gualatieri synthesizes for colleagues fundamental information and insight about the two most common conditions in neuropsychiatry that are otherwise scattered through monographs and specialized journals in a number of disciplines. He provides clinical descriptions of the conditions, organized rationally; drug treatment as it relates specifically to the clinical conditions, and a method for putting the two together. Occasionally he does engage in theoretical and even speculative discussions, but his main concerns are practical. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
