This book reflects the current thinking and research on how
consumers' perception of product risks and benefits affects their
behavior. It provides the scientific, regulatory and industrial
research community with a conceptual and methodological reference
point for studies on consumer behavior and marketing. The
contributions address various aspects of consumer psychology and
behavior, risk perception and communication, marketing research
strategies, as well as consumer product regulation. The book is
divided into 4 parts: Product risks; Perception of product risks
and benefits; Consumer behavior; Regulation and responsibility.

In this book, the discussion of the normal and pathological aspects
of anxiety is critically examined. A chapter on the molecular basis
of anxiety is included, outlining the potential of such approach in
the discovery of novel effective pharmacological interventions. The
face validity, predictability and usefulness of animal models in
the design of valid new efficacious products are discussed.
Separate chapters dedicated to each particular type of anxiety such
as generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, posttraumatic
stress disorder, panic and obsessive-compulive disorder are
included. This book should be of benefit to psychiatrists, clinical
psychologists, general practitioners, nurses, students and all
those engaged in neuropsychiatric research.
Alzheimer disease (AD) has become the most common form of dementia
in industrialized countries and represents an increasing burden at
the economic, social and medical level. In discussing both the
biological aspects of AD as well as the cognitive functions
involved, Alzheimer Disease - Neuropsychology and Pharmacology
presents a comprehensive picture of the pathology and approaches to
diagnosis and treatment. Basic research including animal models,
molecular and genetic aspects is also taken into consideration. In
part I, the biological correlates of AD are discussed. In part II
the neuropsychological aspects such as cognitive impairment, loss
of functional autonomy and emergence of neuropsychiatric
disturbances of AD are outlined. In part III, strategies for
effective treatment and prevention of AD are discussed. This book
will be a useful source of information for clinicians as well as
researchers in the area of neuropharmacology.

Memory: Neuropsychological, Imaging and Psychopharmacological
Perspectives reviews critically the impact of recent
neuropsychological and biological discoveries on our understanding
of human memory and its pathology. Too often, insights from
clinical, neurological and psychopharmacological fields have
remained isolated and mutually unintelligible. Therefore the first
part of this book provides both clinicians and neuroscientists with
a broad view of the neuropsychology of memory, and the
psychobiological processes it involves, including recent advances
from imaging technology and psychopharmacology research. In the
second part the authors go on to cover a comprehensive range of
memory assessments, dysfunctions, impairments and treatments. This
compendium of current research findings will prove an invaluable
resource for anyone studying, researching or practising in the
field of memory and its disorders.
