Covering the basic principles of psychopharmacology, this textbook presents psychopharmacology and drugs of abuse in a readily understood manner. With all of the latest research and a straightforward, engaging writing style, Hedges offers complete coverage of the field without being unnecessarily detailed–and, as a result, provides students with a thorough introduction to this increasingly important area.
- Each chapter is up-to-date with many references from recent research publications, which help expose students to current research findings.
- A glossary covering technical terms is included to help students find key definitions and better comprehend the material they have just studied.
- Alphabetized Appendices (Appendices 2 and 3) contain lists of generic drug names with their trade-name counterparts for easy reference and to help students make sense of the complex drug terminology.
- Particular emphasis has been placed on drugs used to treat psychological disorders, giving students insight into the vast array of anxiolytics, stimulants, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotic medications, drugs that are increasingly used clinically.
- A chapter on dementia (Ch. 12) and its pharmacological treatment provides excellent material on the symptoms and treatment as well as insight into the neurobiology of dementia.
- An appendix (Appendix 1) containing information about electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation offers unique coverage of these procedures, helping to place psychopharmacolgy in context.
- Each chapter begins with an overview of the chapter's material and concludes with a succinct summary, helping students to direct their studies and recognize key ideas.
