T2  - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice
AB  - The  goal  of  medicine  is  to  alleviate  pain  and  suffering,  and  to  that  end,  neuropsychiatry  has  focused  on  identifying  pathology,  establishing  diagnostic  criteria,  and  developing  treatments.  Yet  many  patients  who  are  in  distress  have  symptom  constellations  that  do  not  meet  the  criteria  for  a  defined  neurological  condition  or  DSM  diagnosis.  This  chapter  discusses  presentations  that  fall  outside  the  realm  of  current  diagnostic  categories,  including  dimensional  symptoms,  variations  in  neuropsychological  functioning  that  may  lead  to  difficulties  even  when  within  the  range  of  normal,  and  problems  that  are  traditionally  considered  to  reside  in  the  domain  of  psychology,  although  they  emerge  from  the  materiality  of  brain—internal  mental  conflicts,  relationship  difficulties,  and  maladaptive  patterns  of  behavior.
