“Drugs and the Neuroscience of Behavior by Adam Prus presents an introduction to the rapidly advancing field of psychopharmacology by examining how drug actions in the brain affect psychological processes. The book provides historical background to give readers an appreciation for the development of drug treatments and neuroscience over time, covering major topics in psychopharmacology, including new drugs and recent trends in drug use. Empirically-supported pedagogical features provide students with the opportunity to reflect and review what they’ve read before covering new content, and each chapter concludes with a section on drugs’ actions and effects to promote conceptual understanding. Key updates to the Third Edition include a new chapter on depressants, discussions of the opioid epidemic, the risks associated with vaping, and MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD”–
