"I was personally very interested in reading the book, which well represents the state of the art and perspectives on the subject, and also indicates the tools for further studies in the updated and voluminous bibliography. Therefore, I recommend this publication at first to psychiatrists, clinicians, and researchers in neurosciences, clearly including residents and students in the field. ... it is a great field of knowledge development that this book invites us to face."
