The text gives neuroscientists and psychiatrists an overview of psychopharmacology - one of the most rapidly advancing fields in modern science. The scope of the subject covers the use of drugs and other chemical agents as tools to enable the researcher to investigate how the brain functions. Growing maturation of this field has led to many advances such as the increase in the number of disorders responsive to drug treatment, and so this third edition has been updated and expanded to cover the developments and also give more detail for experienced researchers.

The WPA has published three thematic volumes originating from the 11th World Congress of Psychiatry in Hamburg, Germany, whose title was “Psychiatry on New Thresholds”. These titles are “Psychiatric Diagnosis and Classification”, “Psychiatry in Society” and “Psychiatry as a Neuroscience”.

The series of 9 volumes in Evidence and Experience in Psychiatry aims to compare research evidence and clinical experience about the diagnosis and management of the most common mental disorders. Each volume of the series covers a specific mental disorder, by means of a set of systematic reviews of the research evidence, each followed by many commentaries produced by psychiatrists from various countries and representing different schools of thought.
