Description
In recent years, valuable new insight has been gained into the often complex effects which drugs have on behaviour. Here, an international group of contributors provide an authoritative and interesting account of contemporary studies in the interdisciplinary arena of ethology and psychopharmacology. They describe up-to-the-minute research in many areas where ethopharmacological analysis has made an enormous impact - most particularly in the study of anxiety, depression, aggression and defence. This work will be of value to psychologists and psychopharmacologists at research, graduate and senior undergraduate level and to those wishing to evaluate current work in this important field.
