GENERAL PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacology - the study of the effects
of drugs on the body. However, given
the broad nature of this subject area,
pharmacology includes a number of subdisciplines:
Neuropharmacology - the subdiscipline devoted to the study of the effects
of drugs on cells
of the nervous system.
Psychopharmacology - the subdiscipline devoted
to the study of the effects
of drugs on psychological processes and behavior.
Clinical Psychopharmacology - the subdiscipline of psychopharmacology concerned
mainly with the use of drugs to treat
abnormal human behaviour.
Clinical Neuropsychopharmacology
- you guessed it, a combination of all
three subdisciplines of pharmacology, i.e. the
subdiscipline concerned with the study of the effects of drugs on the nervous
system, their effects
on psychological
and behavioural processes, and their use in the treatment of abnormal human behaviour.
