Neuropsychopharmacology establishes a critical bridge connecting new discoveries in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, and neuroimaging with the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the full spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Nine sections focus on specific groups of disorders. Each group of disorders is discussed in detail, including clinical course, genetics, neurobiology, neuroimaging, and current and emerging therapeutics.

Neuropsychopharmacology is an outstanding reference detailing the advances in both the basic science and the clinical application of recent research in psychopharmacology.
