Summary
Psychologists are among the leaders in the laboratory and clinical investigation of drug-neurochemistry-behavior-environment interactions. Diagnosis and treatment of disorders requiring treatment with drugs, or resulting from drug abuse, are parallel critical areas of activity for psychologists. The lectures presented in this volume touch on several of these important and varied topics. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
