| Sommario/riassunto: | What are the effects of psychoactive drugs on aspects of human behaviour, such as creativity, memory and sexuality? How effective are such drugs in treating mental disorders? How are new drugs tested and licensed? An intriguing introduction to the study of psychopharmacology, this fully revised and updated edition of 'Drugs and Behavior' presents a unique analysis of the ways in which human behaviour is affected by drugs, rather than simply by categories of drugs. |
