From the Back Cover
Treatment with drugs is fundamental to modern therapy of psychiatric disorders. The number of disorders responsive to drug treatment is increasing, reflecting the increased synthesis of novel compounds and the greater understanding of the aetiology of the disorders. Since the publication of the first edition of this book five years ago, significant advances have been made in psychopharmacology and the need for an updated text has become vital. This second edition fulfills this need. The author has provided a thoroughly revised volume, which includes a list of key references and a glossary of terms, abbreviations and synonyms. New material has been added, including chapters on molecular genetics and functional neuroanatomy, as well as two intriguing chapters which give a flavour of the development of psychopharmacology in the 21st century. Written by a leading expert at the interface of psychiatry and pharmacology, this new edition is essential reading for undergraduates in pharmacology and the neurosciences, postgraduate neuropharma–cologists and psychopharmacologists, psychiatrists in training and in practice and medical researchers.
