Description
The third edition of this book has been updated to incorporate many of the latest developments in the field of psychopharmacology. An introduction to modern psychopharmaceuticals, their therapeutic uses and limitations, adverse actions and future directions for research, its emphasis is very much clinical and psychological rather than neurobiological. This edition has been revised to cover new developments in drug therapy and research and includes some 300 new references. Sections on the treatment of depression, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease have been entirely rewritten to include the important new developments in treatment strategies.
