Description
Summary:The chapters of this volume illustrate the continuity from experimental research to clinical utilization of psychotropic drugs. Two sections are devoted to the development of new principles in drug innovation, spanning molecular and clinical studies, and the clinical significance of the new generation of receptor-selective psychotropic drugs. Other sections summarize the most current information about genetic polymorphism in the metabolism of psychotropic drugs, clinical pharmacokinetics, plasma drug level monitoring and strategies for finding optimal drug doses. Each chapter can be read as a freestanding article or in conjunction with the accompanying chapters. This volume, the latest in a series of publications reporting on clinical pharmacology in psychiatry, makes a valuable contribution towards bridging the gap between experimental and clinical research in psychopharmacology and routine problems in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
