The two Animal Models in Psychiatry volumes are loosely organized
by subject. The first volume contains a number of chapters
concerned with schizophrenia, psyc- ses, neuroleptic-induced
tardive dyskinesias, and other d- orders that may involve dopamine,
such as attention deficit disorder and mania. The second volume
deals with affective and anxiety disorders, but also includes
chapters on subjects not easily classified as either psychotic, or
affective, or an- ety-related, such as aggression, mental
retardation, and memory disorders. Four chapters on animal models
of schizophrenia or psychoses are included in the present v- ume
because of the importance of these disorders in p- chiatry.
Likewise, three chapters in the subsequent volume deal with
depression. The first of the two volumes begins with an introd-
tion by Paul Willner reviewing the criteria for assessing the
validity of animal models in psychiatry. He has written - tensively
on this subject, and his thorough description of the issues of
various forms of validity provides a framework in which to evaluate
the subsequent chapters. As will be seen, the remaining chapters in
both volumes will refer frequently to these issues. The second
chapter, by Melvin Lyon, describes a large number of different
procedures that have been p- posed as potential animal models of
schizophrenia. This is a departure from the usual format,
consisting of detailed - scriptions of specific models.
