For an undergraduate
psychology course in Drugs and Behavior Psychopharmacology; also ideal for a
graduate-level Health and Social Science introductory course in Behavioral Pharmacology.
This student-friendly,
accessible text provides students with a thorough introduction to the field of behavioral
pharmacology and prepares them to analyze drug information from a variety of sources. The
text describes-impartially and scientifically-the effects of drugs on behavior, and
the various ways that behavior principles facilitate an understanding of both the actions
of drugs and the way people use them.
NEW-Extensive discussion
of tolerance and current literature on sensitization-Explores the effects of drugs
and the relevance to addiction.
NEW-Updated addiction
chapter-Includes neurophysiology of reinforcement and incentive sensitization theory.
NEW-Updated neuroscience
chapter-Provides students with description of the functioning of the nervous system
and the relationship between brain activity and behavior with an emphasis on how drugs
change both.
NEW-Boxes and
illustrations.
Thorough review of the
basic principles and concepts of pharmacology, psychology, and neurophysiology.
Gives students the
opportunity to explore how basic psychological concepts of learning and conditioning apply
to understanding drug effects. Organization of the material allows students to easily
compare drugs, their neuropharmacology, abuse potential, subjective properties and
behavioral effects.
Uniform coverage of drug
classes-Examines both abuse and psychotherapeutic drugs-and details the specific
drugs within them. Provides an historical background for each drug and explains each
drug's effect from subjective, behavioral, and neurological perspectives.
Easier for students to read
and compare different classes of drugs including drugs of abuse such as heroin and
cocaine, psychotherapeutic drugs such as antipsychotics and antidepressants, and common
legal drugs such as nicotine and caffeine.
Summaries of updated and
modified data.
Research on drug effects
and drug addiction processes from both human and animal studies-Includes recently
developed laboratory techniques used to study the reinforcing effects of drugs in humans.
Over 700 references to
original research and review articles.
