The Psychopharmacologists 3

Rating
Format
Paperback, 624 pages
Published
United Kingdom, 1 July 2000

This text completes a trio of interview-based books about the process of therapeutic innovation in clinical psychiatry. David Healy's method is to interview key individuals involved in the discovery and deployment of drugs that have proved useful to psychiatry, and to draw them together using clinical discovery as the overall theme of his interviews. The accounts are historical, but are highly relevant to contemporary clinical psychiatrists, and they emphasize the importance of research and of the marketing strategies of pharmaceutical companies in formulating disease entities as well as treatments for them. The unifying theme of this third text is the role of receptors, and it includes coverage of international developments, including France, Eastern Europe and Japan. There is also a chapter on paediatric psychopharmacology.

About the Author

David Healy

Reviews

This is the third volume of a series of interviews with psychopharmacologists conducted by David Healy. These oral histories give the reader a fresh and personal view of the progress made in psychopharmacology over the past few decades. -- New England Journal of Medicine A book that should have a place in any good medical library so that budding psychopharmacologists and neuroscientists can appreciate the interpenetration of history and biography in the origins of their field. -- Addiction Biology
