About the Authors

'Imaginative and visually appealing' (TINS), Essential Psychopharmacology, now on CD-ROM, provides a dynamic explanation of the neurobiological concepts underlying the drug treatment of psychiatric disorders, with particular emphasis on the principles of chemical neurotransmission. Based on the highly praised textbook by Stephen M. Stahl, this CD-ROM runs on both Apple Macintosh and Windows, and provides a clear and accessible introduction for the first time student. For the physician or scientist with prior background in the field, it offers a quick review of the key dimensions of psychopharmacology and the drug treatment of mental illness, with a wealth of high-quality colour graphics, animations and voice-overs. A striking and versatile resource, this CD-ROM is an invaluable learning aid for neurobiology students, scientists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals.
- 'It has the feel of being taped from live lectures in its informality. This is not at the expense of accurate description however ... it makes retention much easier than in a conventional text.' (TINS, reviewing Essential Psychopharmacology)
- Over 300 specially designed colour diagrams, including animations and voice-over, devised by the author and refined in teaching
- CD contains all the acclaimed illustrations from Essential Psychopharmacology, many of them animated with voice-over plus full captions
- A valuable supplement for teaching or self study
- Runs on Mac and Windows from the same disc
