Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a superb text which goes into great detail of explaining a multitude of effects drugs have on nonhuman and human systems. I know the author, Dr. Alan Poling, as he was my professor for Behavioral Pharmacology at Western Michigan University in the fall of 2007. A must for the field of behavioral pharmacology, and I believe to be a good reference text for pharmacology and medicine as well. Gives some great insight into behavior analysis, operant condition, and respondent conditioning, and brings you up to speed before going into the behavioral aspects of drugs. It speaks to many levels, from the novice undergraduate, to the graduate student and beyond, and is supplemented with charts and data from his lab experiments. There's also some discussion of behavioral neuroscience as well, which can be helpful in descriving how the drugs affect the Central Nervous System.

Product Description:
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of substances that are used to modify behavior. While different classes of substances have known effects, one has only to see a group of people drinking to excess to recognize that not everyone responds in the same way to a given substance. Why do substances have the behavioral effects they do, and why do individuals vary in their responses to them? Thisbook provides a conceptual framework for answering such questions.It includes the following chapters:
