5.0 out of 5 stars
Drugs and Behavior,
By Chimmy (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drugs and Human Behavior (Paperback)
This was an excellent book for those people interested in a psychopharmacological approach to the study of drugs. Each chapter builds on concepts introduced in the previous ones making the book both thorough and easy to follow. This is a must have for students, professors, or doctors involved in the pharmacological field.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource from neuro psych grad education to med school,
By Neurorat (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Drugs and Human Behavior, 5th Edition (MySearchLab Series) (Paperback)
I used this book in my psychopharmacology course in grad school and it gave me an excellent insight into the pharmacokinetic aspects of psychotropic drugs. I have found that, even after starting medical school, this is a book that I use over traditional pharmacology texts for drugs related to psychiatric disorders, those used for epilepsy, and opioid drugs.
The book begins with an introduction to neurotransmitters and their common functions in the CNS. There are separate chapters for each class of psychotropic drug: antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiepileptics, opioids, ETOH, cannabinoids, dissociative anesthetics, and others that I am sure I am forgetting. Each chapter includes the history of the drug, mechanisms of action, pharmacokineitics and pharmacodynamics. |
