Informationen zum Autor Sarah H. Lisanby, M.D., is Director of the Magnetic Stimulation Laboratory and Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry in the Department of Biological Psychiatry at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York State Psychiatric Institute, in New York, New York. Klappentext This authoritative reference provides an introduction to this emerging field of brain stimulation in psychiatry. Eight recognized experts present the latest research and results--and future challenges--for new techniques to electrically stimulate the central nervous system, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), magnetic seizure therapy (MST), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). This is the first book to both review these new techniques and place them in the context of existing somatic therapies in psychiatry. Enriching our knowledge base in this exciting new field means more choices and therapeutic strategies for patients with conditions that resist conventional treatments. This fascinating work is a key reference for the promising future of brain stimulation in psychiatric treatment and is a "must read" for clinicians and residents alike.
