An Introduction to Behavioral Pharmacology. Looseleaf, Pearson

Substantial revisions and updates include the newest research findings, real-world examples, and a new lead author

NEW! The Eighth Edition includes the most current information on “prevalence of use” data, recent trends in drug availability, and newly revised key features (DSM-5 diagnostic criteria) of substance-related and addictive disorders — including gambling disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders, and major depressive disorder.
NEW! Pharmacokinetic, neuropharmacological, physiological, and behavioral research findings have been added on topics such as caffeinated alcoholic beverages, e-cigarettes, dissolvable tobacco products, energy drinks and shots, synthetic cathinones (“bath salts”), synthocannabinoids (“herbal incense”), MDMA (“ecstasy”/“molly”), and ayahuasca.
UPDATED! A thoroughly revised and elaborated chapter on cannabis covers the following:
- Changes in the use and composition of cannabis and cannabinoid compounds;
- New research evidence of drug effects;
- Recent legislative changes; and
- Synthocannabinoids (“synthetic marijuana” or “herbal incense”), including their history of emergence onto drug markets, legislation enacted to curb their distribution and use, pharmacokinetic and neuropharmacological effects, influence on human and animal behavior, and the physiological and harmful effects of these compounds.
NEW! New chapter boxes highlight important drug-related processes, such as pharmaceutical drug development and the classification of controlled substances, as well as contemporary issues, like the shift in conceptualizing addiction to include behaviors such as gambling and the physical and cognitive consequences of adding caffeine to alcohol.
NEW! Dr. William McKim has graciously passed the reins of first authorship to Dr. Stephanie Hancock. Bill first put pen to paper to create this innovative textbook in the early 1980s, and has since lovingly and meticulously updated each of the previous editions. Stephanie will carry on the personal style and enthusiastic approach for which the text is known.

Trusted features engage students and emphasize the interconnectedness between mind and body

Chapter boxes, tables, and figures highlight relevant and interesting contemporary issues, illustrate recent research findings and trends in drug use, and depict key concepts to aid student comprehension and retention of the material.
A thorough review of the basic principles and key concepts of psychology, pharmacology, and neurophysiology — such as learning and memory, drug action within the body, and neurotransmission — allows students to explore interactions between processes which, together, constitute the drug experience.
Examination of both psychotherapeutic and recreational drugs allows students to distinguish the key similarities and differences between various classes of drug compounds and to better understand their subjective, behavioral, and neuropharmacological effects.
