Traumatic brain injury is a global health concern. It is a diverse disease process that results in a myriad of impairments, outcomes and challenges. The heterogeneity and complexity of the disease requires the collaboration and involvement of a wide range of professionals across an array of disciplines including research, management and public health. The Oxford Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury comprehensively covers all aspects of traumatic brain injury from the basic science to common symptoms and management. It provides a single source of information for those working in the field of traumatic brain injury in both clinical and research fields. It has been written with global readership in mind, with specific chapters dedicated to regions around the world. The book is a comprehensive resource for academics, trainees, and clinicians working with patients with traumatic brain injuries in neurosciences, neurorehabilitation and community settings including those working in emergency medicine, intensive care, neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurorehabilitation and a range of allied professionals. All chapters are written with global readership in mind to ensure relevance of the book in all the continents. The book provides a balanced, evidence-based, and practical resource that supports clinicians, researchers, and students in their efforts to improve outcomes for individuals with traumatic brain injury. Each chapter offers insights grounded in the latest scientific research while recognizing the importance of culturally sensitive, patient-centred care.

A survey of over 900 trainees at the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych) in the United Kingdom showed that over three-quarters of psychiatry trainees desired some knowledge and training in the field of neuropsychiatry. Recent years have given rise to a substantial global focus on integrating neurosciences and neuropsychiatry in psychiatric training. Neuropsychiatry forms an important part of the psychiatric curriculum and is examined in theory and in clinical exams. Similarly, neuropsychiatry is also of interest to neurology trainees, and it is increasingly recognised that all neurology trainees should have some knowledge and experience in neuropsychiatry. Despite this growing interest, there is a dearth of neuropsychiatry textbooks specifically geared towards trainees and other clinicians who are not specialist in the field.Part of the Oxford Textbooks in Psychiatry series, the Oxford Textbook of Neuropsychiatry helps to bridge the gap between general psychiatric textbooks and reference texts in neuropsychiatry. Organised into four sections, the book covers the basic knowledge and skills relevant to neuropsychiatry, the various neuropsychiatric conditions, the principles of treatment, and perspectives for neuropsychiatry worldwide. Chapters have been written by international experts who are leaders in their own fields with the view to taking an evidence-based, up-to-date, global perspective on neuropsychiatric problems and treatment.The book is relevant to trainees in psychiatry, neurology, neurorehabilitation and also to various allied professionals in neuroscience and mental health. It covers core knowledge and skills for practice in all psychiatric disciplines including core knowledge for training in neuropsychiatry. The book meets curriculum requirements for various international training programmes and examinations, and serves as an essential training text book for all psychiatric and neurology trainees worldwide.
