This volume investigates the complex intersection of neurological pathology and psychiatric manifestation, seeking to define the clinical boundaries between organic brain disease and behavioral disorder. Editors D. Frank Benson and Dietrich Blumer assemble a collection of expert contributions to establish a diagnostic framework for clinicians. The text synthesizes clinical observations and research data to assist practitioners in identifying the psychiatric symptoms that frequently accompany primary neurological conditions.

The subject matter points to a foundational, specialist text intended for clinicians and researchers operating at the intersection of neurology and psychiatry. Its framing suggests a rigorous, evidence-based approach to diagnostic challenges that remain central to the field of neuropsychiatry.
