Summary:Reviews the book, Neuro-Psychopharmacology by P. B. Bradley, P. Deniker, and C. Radouco-Thomas (Eds.) (1959). This volume is the proceedings of the first "International Congress of Neuro-psychopharmacology" which was held in Rome in September 1958. Many topics were discussed in the symposium such as; methods of analysis of behavior in animals and man, comparison in animals and man of drug-induced, abnormal behavioral states and comparison of drug-induced and endogenous psychoses in man. Some of the summary and symposia articles have been published in essence elsewhere, but most of the short communications are new, and many are stimulating in a field which has been dominated by concepts mediated largely by serotonin and phenindoles. This volume will be of value as a reference book for psychologists, pharmacologists, and biologically oriented psychiatrists. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
