Sean A Spence, Anthony David

'This book is a monument to what cognitive neuropsychiatry can bring to a scientific understanding of psychopathology and, in particular, auditory verbal hallucinations. The papers are by leaders in their field and as such strain and stretch the paradigm and provide much to think about for further work both in this area and in psychiatry more widely. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who works with patients with psychotic symptoms and hope for future volumes discussing the other major symptoms of psychopathology, such as delusion and thought disorder, from the perspective of cognitive neuropsychiatry.' Matthew R. Broome, in The Journal of Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology, December 2005
