Wonderful visuals, CD ROM helps visualize complex receptor interactions. Mechanisms of drugs and of psychiatric illness summarized in a very easy and fun learning experience. Worth every penny.

Too Basic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essential Psychopharmacology with CD-ROM: Neuroscientific Basis and Clinical Applications (Essential Psychopharmacology Series) (Paperback)
Very good illustration. The contents is too basic for a good study. May be helpful for junior medical students. About 5-10% of the contents did give me some clearification of knowledge. In general, I found the book boring. Another comment is that the book does not mention the subtypes of MAO and the role of MAO-A in inhibiting absorption of tyramine. This is more important than the work at synaps which clinically does not deserve the emphasis the book gives.
