The Yipping Tiger and Other Tales from the Neuropsychiatric Clinic is a book by neuropsychiatrist Perminder Sachdev, M.D. consisting of ten case studies which explore the relationship between the brain and the mind.[1][2] The case studies are based on Sachdev’s experience in the neuropsychiatric clinic at the Neuropsychiatric Institute, Sydney, Australia.[3] Each case study examines a different medical condition, the current research findings related to the condition, and the challenges these conditions pose for the doctor and patient.[4]
