This work is a collection of Carl Wenicke's lectures on neuropsychiatry translated into English
for the first time. Beginning with basic concepts about normal brain function the book moves
to clinical topics dealing first with chronic mental disorders and 'paranoid states' and then
to the more complex area of acute mental disorders. Many of the featured topics are still
clinically relevant and matters of contemporary debate. Carl Wernicke is one of the pioneers
of neurology and psychiatry clinicians researchers and historians will find this of great
interest.
