Abstract
The field of psychopharmacology may be regarded as the point of confluence of theories, lines of inquiry, and methodologies pertaining to pharmacology, psychology, and psychiatry. Other disciplines, including ethology, genetics, and anthropology also contributed to the growth of psychopharmacology. The diversity of the roots of psychopharmacology goes a long way toward explaining the different definitions given to this term and why it means different things to different practitioners in the field. The goal of this essay is to briefly review the family tree of psychopharmacology and with it the development of the discipline.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
