It is a young and rapidly growing field, drawing on concepts from psychiatry, psychology, computer science, neuroscience, electrical and chemical engineering, mathematics, and physics. This book, accessible to nonspecialists, offers the first introductory textbook in computational psychiatry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter more than 100 years of psychological theories, psychopharmacological research, and clinical experience, the challenges of understanding and treating mental illness remain. Computational psychiatry seeks to explain how psychiatric dysfunction may emerge mechanistically, and how it may be classified, predicted, and clinically addressed. It has the potential to bridge advances in neuroscience and clinical applications, connecting low-level biological features with high-level cognitive features. After a survey of computational psychiatry methods, the book covers biologically detailed models of working memory and decision making and computational models of cognitive control. It then describes the application of computational approaches to schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, addiction, and Tourette's syndrome. Finally, the book briefly discusses additional disorders and offers guidelines for future research. Chapters also offer discussions of related issues, chapter summaries, and suggestions for further study. The book can be used as a textbook by students and as a reference for scientists and clinicians interested in applying computational models to diagnosis and treatment strategies.\u003c\/p\u003eCHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION: TOWARD A COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH TO PSYCHIATRY\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2: METHODS OF COMPUTATIONAL PSYCHIATRY: A BRIEF SURVEY\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3: BIOPHYSICALLY BASED NEURAL CIRCUIT MODELING OF WORKING MEMORY AND DECISION MAKING AND RELATED PSYCHIATRIC DEFICITS\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4: COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF COGNITIVE CONTROL: PAST AND CURRENT APPROACHES\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5: THE VALUE OF ALMOST EVERYTHING: MODELS OF THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE VALENCE SYSTEMS AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO PSYCHIATRY\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6: PSYCHOSIS AND SCHIZOPHRENIA FROM A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7: DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS FROM A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8: ANXIETY DISORDERS FROM A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 9: ADDICTION FROM A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 10 : TOURETTE SYNDROME FROM A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 11: PERSPECTIVES AND FURTHER STUDY IN COMPUTATIONAL PSYCHIATRY\u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eComputational Psychiatry\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderful introduction to the perspectives and computational approaches that are now fundamental to neuropsychiatry.
