Psychopharmacology may be defined as the study of the effects of
drugs on behavior. As an established scientific discipline, this is
a relatively new area of research. Despite its short history,
however, psychopharmacology has achieved a considerable degree of
sophistication in the variety of experi mental approaches that are
currently employed. Consequently, the interpretation of data
accumulated through the use of various experimental laboratory
techniques has become increasingly difficult and complex. Numerous
excelIent texts and review articles are available that serve to
outline recent progress in psychopharmacology (particularly the
Handbook of Psychopharmacology series, edited by L. L. Iversen, S.
D. Iversen, and S. H. Synder). Volumes such as these serve to
usefully review the available litera ture without attempting a
critical appraisal of the utility and limitations of methods and
the difficulties of interpreting empirical data. Such conceptual
and methodological problems are now an issue of paramount
importance in studying the behavioral effects of drugs. The present
volume can be regarded as a "conceptual cookbook" that examines the
utility and limitations of various experimental approaches commonly
taken in psychopharmacology. This practically oriented text should
prove particularly useful for pharmacologists and neurochemists who
have no formal training in behavioral research and require an intro
duction to the actuallaboratory practice of the field. In addition,
the useful and informative treatment of current issues in
psychopharmacology will undoubtedly appeal to the majority of
active researchers."
