Book
Philosophy of psychopharmacology : smart pills, happy pills, and pepp pills / Dan J. Stein.
"This book provides a framework for addressing important philosophical issues in psychiatry and psychopharmacology. The approach draws on theory and data from modern congnitive-affective neuroscience, and attempts to address objective and subjective aspects of psychiatric disorders, to integrate our knowledge of mechanisms and of meanings and to provide a balanced view of the good and bad of psychotropics." --cover
