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.
