Discoveries in Biological PsychiatryFrank J. Ayd, Barry Blackwell "This book shares the same purpose as the Symposium - [The Second Annual Taylor Manor Hospital Scientific Symposium : "Discoveries in biological psychiatry"] - from which its contents are derived. Gathered here are the accounts of all the original discoveries in biological psychiatry, recounted, as far as possible, by those who made them. In addition to the enjoyment and vicarious excitement of these reports, the book serves a threefold purpose: as a historical record, a teaching instrument, and an encouragement to other clinicians and research workers." -- Preface (page 7) |
