Книга "Fundamentals of Psychopharmacology" является необходимым ресурсом для понимания основ психофармакологии, которая является фундаментом современной терапии психических расстройств. Третье издание содержит новый и обновленный материал, включая дополнительную главу о клинических исследованиях и их важности при оценке эффективности и безопасности психотропных препаратов. Книга расширяет темы молекулярной биологии и образования изображений, которые имеют все большее значение для базовой и клинической нейронауки, для иллюстрации их релевантности для нашего понимания психофармакологии. Написанная доступным языком, книга будет полезна для студентов фармакологии и нейронаук, аспирантов-нейрофармакологов, психиатров в обучении и в практике и медицинских исследователей. По мнению рецензентов второго издания, книга является читабельной, хорошо исследованной и, вероятно, лучшей в своем роде.
Treatment with drugs forms the basis for modern therapy for psychiatric disorders, and this Third Edition provides up-to-date coverage of this topic. A major feature is the addition of a new chapter on Clinical Trials and Their Importance in Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Psychotropic Drugs. Going beyond the scope of traditional textbooks in psychiatry and research, the authors discuss the interaction between neurobiological and psychological phenomena and, together with contemporary neuroscience and evolution, elucidate the pathophysiological bases of psychiatric disorders and their pharmacological treatment. Written with the student of neuropharmacology and psychiatry at the forefront of mind, this book incorporates state of the art developments in neuroscience within the broader framework of principles established by classical psychopharmacologists. In addition to its suitability as a text for neuroscience undergraduates and experts alike, its accessibility enables specialists from non-science disciplines in medicine to benefit from its content. With its combination of guidelines presented through integrated case studies and instruction tailored towards relevant topics in pharmacological psychology, medical ethics, pathology, physical assessment and statistics, this textbook proves to be invaluable in building the foundations of prospective medical practitioners, residents in psychiatric training and specialists in chemical neuroanatomy.

Treatment with drugs is fundamental to modern therapy of psychiatric disorders. The number of disorders responsive to drug treatment is increasing, reflecting the extensive synthesis of novel compounds and the greater understanding of the aetiology of the disorders. This third edition provides new and updated material, including an additional chapter on clinical trials and their importance in assessing the efficacy and safety of psychotropic drugs. As molecular biology and imaging techniques are of increasing importance to basic and clinical neuroscience, these areas have also been extended to illustrate their relevance to our understanding of psychopharmacology. This book is essential reading for undergraduates in pharmacology and the neurosciences, postgraduate neuropharmacologists, psychiatrists in training and in practice and medical researchers. Reviews of the Second Edition «…this text is eminently readable, well researched, and probably the best of its kind. The book is well worth buying and anyone who claims to know anything about psychopharmacology will be expected to have a heavily annotated copy.» Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine «…[this is] a very good book, especially suited to those interested in psychopharmacologic research and psychiatric residency in training.» Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy
