Evolving Perspectives in Clinical Psychopathology: The Revised SIMS’ SYMPTOMS IN THE MIND
Since its debut in 1988, “SIMS’ SYMPTOMS IN THE MIND” penned by Femi Oyebode has emerged as the cornerstone introductory text for clinical psychopathology. This revised edition meticulously incorporates advancements in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, redefining the chapters exploring memory disturbances, temporal disorders, perceptual abnormalities, language and speech impairments, affective and emotional disorders, and executive dysfunctions.
