	Neuropsychiatry \| Pacific Neuropsychiatric Institute
		The subspecialty of neuropsychiatry is the "neurological aspects of psychiatry and the psychiatric aspects of neurology." All neuropsychiatric patients invariably have a psychiatric aspect as well as a higher brain neurological facet.
		Neuropsychiatry, now used synonymously with Behavioral Neurology, is the medical subspecialty dealing with the evaluation and management of higher brain functions (cerebral cortex and limbic system).
		It is an organization of professionals in neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences (not necessarily MDs) dedicated to understanding the links between neuroscience and behavior, and to developing effective diagnosis and treatment for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders.

	sBMJ \| Neuropsychiatry
		Neuropsychiatry is sometimes seen as an umbrella term for a number of closely related fields that are slightly different in focus and scope (box 1).
		The training requirement for entering higher training in neuropsychiatry in the United Kingdom is a minimum of two and a half years of basic training in psychiatry, including experience in subspecialties such as general adult psychiatry, old age psychiatry, psychotherapy, child psychiatry, and liaison psychiatry.
		Neuropsychiatry often entails liaison and collaboration with a number of neuroscience disciplines and requires basic knowledge of these, especially knowledge and skills related to neurology and psychiatry.

	ANPA
		The American Neuropsychiatric Association (ANPA), established in 1988, is an organization of professionals in neuropsychiatry and clinical neurosciences dedicated to understanding the links between neuroscience and behavior, and to developing effective diagnosis and treatment for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders.
		In March 2004, a joint application from ANPA and the Society for Behavioral and Cognitive Neurology (SBCN) was submitted to the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) for recognition of the Neurological Subspecialty Area (NSA) of Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry (www.ucns.org).
		On June 30, 2004 Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry was approved as a single subspecialty.

	Neuropsychiatry Independent Medical Examinations, Neuropsychiatric Independent Medical Evaluations or IMEs nationwide.
		Neuropsychiatry is the overlapping area between neurology and psychiatry concerned with the study, diagnosis and treatment of disorders resulting from organic or physical defects in the brain; ie.
		Neuropsychiatry is not one of the ABMS member boards; however, neuropsychiatric independent medical exams may be requested in lieu of psychiatric or neurologic IMEs.
		Most neuropsychiatry, or neuro-psych, independent medical examinations are necessitated by trauma or injury to the central nervous system, or often the brain, which may be reffered to as TBI, or traumatic brain injury.

		Behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry are disciplines within the clinical neurosciences that focus on the clinical and pathological aspects of neural processes associated with cognition, emotion, and behavior.
		Expertise and clinical competence in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry requires the development of a combination of knowledge and skills that are beyond the scope of those required for the practice of either general neurology or general psychiatry alone.
		A complementary set of training objectives developed for use in residency programs are offered elsewhere (7), and may be of service to both fellowship and/or residency training directors as they design their specific training programs.

	Organic mental disorders and neuropsychiatry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		ICD-10 states that use of the term “organic” does not imply that conditions elsewhere in the classification are “nonorganic” in the sense that they have no cerebral substrate, and that the term means simply that the syndrome so classified can be attributed to an independently diagnosable cerebral or systemic disease.
		Neuropsychiatry is defined as "a field of scientific medicine that concerns itself with the complex relationship between human behavior and brain function, and endeavors to understand abnormal behavior and behavioral disorders on the basis of an interaction of neurobiological and psychological–social factors" (International Neuropsychiatric Association, 1998).
		Neuropsychiatry is sometimes seen as an umbrella term for a number of closely related fields that are slightly different in focus and scope.

	The Evolution of Neuropsychiatry
		Although widespread disagreement persists regarding what neuropsychiatry should encompass, the intertwining of brain and thought and of mind and body is central to any definition, according to Stuart C. Yudofsky, MD.
		“First of all, neuropsychiatry is firmly rooted in medicine, with primary attention given to the role of the brain in dysfunctions of mood, behavior, impulse, and cognition,” he said.
		The field of neuropsychiatry is poised to take greater leaps forward as neuroscience research moves further into the 21st century.

	Welcome - Cardiff Cognitive Neuropsychiatry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Cognitive neuropsychiatry is the application of psychological science to the understanding and treatment of mentall illness, such as schizophrenia, mania, dementia, delusions, depression or any other psychopathology.
		Cognitive neuropsychiatry begins with a series of propositions and simplifications: Let us take this symptom (the disembodied critical voice; the disjointed utterances; the lack of feeling for others; etc.) and treat it as if were a neuropsychological abnormality (an aphasia; an agnosia; a personality change; etc.).
		The research group was formed to allow members of staff and clinical colleagues to share ideas, promote ongoing research projects and provide a forum for discussion for this new and important field in both the Cardiff area and with the wider community.

		Recognizing the need to make clear the educational content that these programs are expected provide to trainees in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry, the SBCN and the ANPA partnered to develop this core curriculum for training in the unified medical subspecialty of Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry.
		Fellows in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry are expected to develop in-depth knowledge regarding the neuropsychiatric and neurobehavioral consequences of many neurological and psychiatric conditions.
		However, since training in Behavioral Neurology and Neuropsychiatry may follow primary training in either neurology or psychiatry, it is not expected that the fellows will develop the same fund of knowledge or clinical competency in the management of the primary neurological or psychiatric disorders listed herein as that obtained by primary specialty training.
