Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the annual "Bio-clinical Interface" conferences, this book is an interface between a wide range of disciplines and a point of interaction between several groups of people: psychiatrists, basic scientists, as well as researchers and decision-makers from the pharmaceutical industry. The chapters provide an up-to-date synthesis of the many facets of current research in psychiatry, and is logically organized around three major themes: New Prospects in Psychopharmacology, Recent Advances in Psychiatry, and Drug Treatment in Psychiatry.;The scope and variety of the book reflect the changing aspect of psychiatry, today fertilized by tools and theories from the neurosciences, and bind these many facets into a coherent whole. This close integration of several approaches tests current scientific hypotheses, and establishes a working collaboration between psychiatric research centers and the pharmaceutical industry.
