About the Book

Behavioural models in psychopharmacology are used for different purposes. The main concern of industrial psychopharmacologists is specifically to develop new and improved drugs for the treatment of mental disorders, while basic scientists use animal models to investigate the underlying nature of such conditions. The important distinction between these different perspectives is made explicit for the first time in this book. By considering such conditions as anxiety, depression, mania and schizophrenia, feeding disorders, dementia, and drug dependence, this book provides a comprehensive and critical review of the adequacy of the behavioural procedures used by psychopharmacologists to model psychiatric disorders. Graduate students and research workers in pscyhopharmacology, from both academic and industrial spheres, as well as clinicians, will find this book of considerable interest.

Review :
"...serves as a helpful guide for the discriminating consumer of the psychopharmacology literature." George V. Rebec, Contemporary Psychology "...a superior evaluative review of many existing models and is unique in several respects." William R. Garnett, American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education "...contains a very thorough overview of behavioral models and their use in these three areas of interest; it will be extremely useful to investigators in all three areas, as well as others interested in the methods and objectives in psychopharmacology." The Quarterly Review of Biology
