AB Contemporary  neuropsychiatry  has  come  of  age.  After  a  flourish  at  the  interface  of  neurology  and  psychopathology  in  the  late  19th  century,  a  decline  during  the  era  of  psychoanalysis,  and  precursors  in  the  forms  of  psychopharmacology  and  biological  psychiatry,  a  substantial  neuropsychiatric  evidence  and  experience  base  has  accrued,  and  the  field  has  been  defined.  Localization  of  brain  functions  has  extended  beyond  sensory-motor  and  even  cognitive  processes  to  emotional,  social,  and  complex  behavioral  processes.  The  interactions  among  nodes  within  brain  networks  that  mediate  higher-order  human  mental  function  are  being  elucidated.  Interdisciplinary  clinical  teams,  like  that  of  the  Center  for  Brain/Mind  Medicine  at  Brigham  and  Women’s  Hospital,  are  being  formed.  The  American  Neuropsychiatric  Association  and  the  Journal  of  Neuropsychiatry  and  Clinical  Neurosciences  have  played  a  major  role  in  bringing  together  the  neuropsychiatric  community  and  advancing  the  field.  Specialized  training  programs  have  been  developed.
