The Intentional Brain

The book explores the evolution of neuropsychiatry, highlighting its historical significance and the reasons for its decline in the early twentieth century as neurology and psychiatry separated. As advancements in neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, and pharmacology brought the two fields closer, neuropsychiatry redefined itself, developing a distinct identity that transcends mere overlap. Michael R. Trimble delves into these changes, offering insights into the complexities of the brain and the interplay between mental and organic aspects of disorders.
