This book examines a variety of psychological disorders from the
perspective of the psychology of learning. Grounded in the study of
classical and instrumental conditioning, learning theory provides
an explanatory framework for the way in which humans acquire
information, and when applied, how abnormalities in learning may
give rise to clinical conditions.
This edited volume addresses a wide range of clinically relevant
issues in chapters written by international experts in each field.
Individual chapters present experimental research into the
neuropsychological basis of the acquisition of fears, phobias and
clinical aversions, the placebo and nocebo effects, the psychology
of drug addiction and relapse following clinical treatment, as well
as the role of learning in Tourette s syndrome, depression and
schizophrenia.
This book will be particularly useful for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of clinical psychology, behavioural
neuroscience and those studying the applications of learning theory
to clinical or psychiatric research.
