"For almost two decades, I’ve attended rounds and conferences with Drs. Vaidya and Taylor. They are wonderful neuropsychiatrists who love to teach. Reading this book is like being on rounds with them, with the extra, added attraction that there’s no need to take notes—it’s here in the book. Pay attention to the questions they pose, and give your answer, just like on rounds. The experience will be precious."
