Neurobiology and Clinical Views on Aggression and Impulsivity

Recent years have witnessed major advances in the study of neuroscience that have increased our understanding of the relationship between cerebral processes and behavioural, cognitive and emotional disorders. This series aims to monitor important research developments in the field of biological psychiatry and their relevance to clinical practice. At a time when violent crime is on the increase in a number of countries a book on aggression and impulsivity is undoubtedly welcome. This volume, written by experts in their field, covers a range of topics including the phenomenology of aggression and impulsivity, etiological factors and biological markers, and the treatments of these variables. This volume:

• Concentrates on the biological aspects of aggression and impulsivity
• Provides a timely and comprehensive publication, especially in view of the increase in crime in recent years
