Synopsis

This is the first book to deal with both the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms in appetites for drugs, food, sex, and gambling, and considers whether there are common factors between them. The authors approach this by looking at the bases of both normal and abnormal appetites in humans. The focus on human appetites will be of great interest to psychologists and clinicians alike.

The EBBS Publications Series is designed to provide researchers and students with authoritative, topical reviews of major areas in the brain and behaviour sciences. Each volume will include specially commissioned and edited chapters by leading researchers, presented in a lively and accessible style.

Revue de presse

well written, with reasonably clear and helpful illustrations, and would either make a good introduction to the subject for a researcher or clinician interested in appetite, or to broaden the knowledge of a researcher working in one aspect of appetite (Nigel Brown, Behaviour Research & Therapy, Vol. 34, No. 5/6, 1996)
