This book provides a concise overview of the possible clinical applications of standard EEG in clinical psychiatry. After a short history, the book describes the physiologic basis of the EEG signal, then reviews the principles of EEG in terms of technical backgrounds and requirements, EEG recording and signal analysis, with plentiful illustrations of the most frequent biological or technical artefacts. Normal EEG patterns and waveforms for easy reference are clearly presented, before the detailed description of abnormal patterns. With the basic information in hand, the reader progresses to an account of the role of EEG in the diagnostic work up in psychiatry, covering nonconvulsive status epilepticus, frontal lobe seizures and non-epileptic seizures. The clinical application of EEG in both childhood and adult disorders follows, including many case vignettes. The effects of psychotropic drugs on EEG are highlighted.The book closes with a discussion of currently available certification venues for Clinical Neurophysiology along with limitations of each venue. It calls for the development of training guidelines and certification processes specific to Psychiatric Electrophysiology.The material is clearly presented throughout, with plenty of figures, tables with summaries of relevant findings, flow diagrams for diagnostic work-up, boxes with learning points, and short lists of key references.We fully expect the book will become the standard teaching source for psychiatry residents and fellows, as well as a useful resource for practising psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.Praise for the book:"This distinguished group of editors has put together chapters that represent an excellent practical handbook on electroencephalography in clinical psychiatry, now a very important topic. I highly recommend it not only to psychiatrists, but also to anyone interested in neuroscience."John R. Hughes, DM (Oxon), MD, PhD, Professor of Neurology, University of Illinois Medical Center, at Chicago, Illinois, USA

The book discusses the definition of negative and cognitive symptoms and offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of their impact on patients' real-life functioning and quality of life. It covers the available assessment instruments, including those in early intervention settings, and explores possible treatments, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological.Negative symptoms are common and pervasive in schizophrenia, significantly impacting an individual's life and serving as strong predictors of functional outcomes. However, they are often underrecognized and undertreated compared to positive symptoms. Addressing negative symptoms requires a multimodal approach. Enhancing our understanding and developing effective treatment strategies for negative symptoms are essential for improving the well-being of individuals with schizophrenia.Cognitive dysfunctions represent a core feature of schizophrenia, present at any stage of the disease and in subjects at high risk for psychosis (UHR), and they also have a significant impact on patients' psychosocial functioning. While pharmacological treatment is modestly effective for the cognitive dimension, there is considerable evidence of the efficacy of cognitive remediation interventions on cognition and functioning.In the volume, particular attention is given to the relationships, overlap, and independence of the two dimensions in schizophrenia. The authors explore how to disentangle the relative prevalence and role of such dimensions in patients' everyday lives and discuss the differential effectiveness of treatment options.This book is the first effort to explore the complex relationships between negative and cognitive symptoms in a dedicated format, featuring contributions from many of the best-recognized experts in the field. It fills a gap in the existing literature and will, therefore, be a key resource for clinicians and researchers in the field.
