About this title

Synopsis

This text provides an account of the effects of psychoactive drugs on the brains behaviour. This updated 7th edition includes: expanded discussion of the mechanisms of drug action; new coverage of the receptors upon which many psychoactive drugs act; more material of relevance to the caring professions; new information on nonpharmacological alternatives in treating psychiatric illness; and a chapter exploring the interface between drug and nondrug treatment of psychological illness.

Review

"A complete, unbiased, and professional review of psychoactive drugs."--"American Journal of Psychiatry"
"A concise, easily readable guide to actions, uses, and side effects of psychoactive drugs . . . This book covers general principles of each class of psychoactive drugs and specific information about each drug within that class. It looks at mechanisms of action, theories about etiologies of major psychological disorders and rationale for drug treatment, and uses and limitations of psychopharmacology. It also includes basic explanations of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Drugs of compulsive use are emphasized. Each of the 20 chapters examines current and future directions in drug research (including drugs not yet available for clinical use). An interesting new chapter on herbal medications has been added. A brief glossary is included. This is a bold attempt to capture the explosion of knowledge about psychoactive substances . . . This is a good, comprehensive review that has organized and presented a massive amount of often disparate information into a comprehensible, easy to use book."--Nancy Schell, MD (Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center), "Doody Review Services"
"Since the primer's first edition 20 years ago, much has been learned about psychoactive drugs, their use in the treatment of mental disorders, and their potential for misuse. Chapters cover principles of drug action, properties of specific drugs, pharmacotherapy for various disorders, and societal issues. The primer's goal is to present information in clear language, free of jargon, for students and general readers, though scholarly syntax is the norm throughout."-- "Book News"
"This in-depth survey of the effects of psychoactive drugs on the brain and behavior includes an expanded discussion of drug action and new discoveries in psychopharmacology since 1975. Surprisingly simple language lend insights to details on the actions, uses and side effects of these drugs.
