Quatrième de couverture

Mind, Brain, and Drug: An Introduction to Psychopharmacology couples a thorough treatment of the basic principles of the discipline with an approachable and engaging writing style. Including extensive references to cutting edge research publications, the text places an emphasis on drugs increasingly used clinically to treat psychological disorders, including anxiolytics, stimulants, and antipsychotics, as well as covering common drugs of abuse.

Students will appreciate the helpful pedagogical features of the text, including a glossary of technical terms, appendices of generic and trade-name drugs and techniques such as electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and vagal nerve stimulation, and overviews and summaries of each chapter.

Comprehensive yet manageable, Mind, Brain, and Drug: An Introduction to Psychopharmacology serves as an excellent guide for students to this increasingly important field.
