Описание: Biological Psychology offers a highly visual, in-depth guide to the basic biological functions of the brain that you will need to learn throughout the course of your psychology degree. This edition boasts a revamped learning structure with a strong applied focus. This allows you to engage with biological psychology through a range of real world applications, getting you to apply your learning to conditions such as epilepsy, PTSD and Parkinson’s, and treatments such as gene therapy and brain-computer interfaces for spinal cord injuries.
Key features include:
• New 'real world applications' boxes that help put theory into practice, showing you the human side of the science • 'Focus on methods' boxes that demonstrate the research methods you will use as a biological psychologist to uncover the workings of the brain • Key debates to deepen your understanding of contemporary research and its impact • Critical thinking questions • Key points and glossary definitions to solidify your understanding of complex ideas and new terminology • Further reading suggestions to help build your bibliography for assignments • Video animations to help you grasp basic neuroanatomy and psychobiology
This book goes above and beyond to familiarise you with the links between biology and psychology, making it an essential read for psychology students at all levels.
Suzanne Higgs is Professor in the Psychobiology of Appetite at the University of Birmingham. Alison Cooper is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Jonathan Lee is Professor of Memory Neuroscience at the University of Birmingham.

Описание: Written for graduate students and trainees in mental health, this is the only text to present neurobiology in the context of clinical issues rather than merely focusing on experimental approaches to biological psychology or structuring it along neurological systems. In clear, easily accessible language the text explains how the brain and nervous system are linked to mental disorders. It integrates information from many aspects of neurobiological research, including imaging, neuropsychology, and genetics in order to foster an in-depth understanding of the psychiatric presentation of disorders that mental health professionals encounter in their practices.<br><br>To facilitate student learning and clarify the connection between neurobiological foundations and clinical presentation, the text includes case studies, cognitive data, imaging results, genetic testing results, and illustrations. It examines major psychological disorders from behavioural, emotional, biological, cognitive and neurophysiological perspectives as they relate to brain structure and the major systems. Special topic sections highlight ethical, research, and treatment concerns for mental health practitioners. Each chapter concludes with summations and review questions. Written for graduate level students in clinical, counselling, and school psychology programs, the text fulfils APA accreditation requirements for coursework in the biological bases of behaviour. While the text's primary aim is to help students understand neurobiological information as an important component of a therapeutic framework, it also concisely addresses micro and macro anatomy as relates to neurobiology. Also included are such supplementary teaching materials as test questions and PowerPoint slides of illustrations.<br><br>Key Features:<ul><li>Focuses on the connection between neurobiology and clinical presentation</li><li>Presents complex information clearly and concisely</li><li>Highlights special topics in neurobiology ethics, research, and treatment</li><li>Integrates information from imaging, neuropsychology, and genetics testing</li><li>Prepares graduate students in clinical, counselling, and school psychology for professional practice</li></ul>
A concise overview of the neuropsychology of psychopathy, written in layman's terms The last two decades have seen tremendous growth in biological research on psychopathy, a mental disorder distinguished by traits including a lack of empathy or emotional response, egocentricity, impulsivity, and stimulation seeking. But how does a psychopath’s brain work? What makes a psychopath? Psychopathy provides a concise, non-technical overview of the research in the areas of genetics, hormones, brain imaging, neuropsychology, environmental influences, and more, focusing on explaining what we currently know about the biological foundations for this disorder and offering insights into prediction, intervention, and prevention. It also offers a nuanced discussion of the ethical and legal implications associated with biological research on psychopathy. How much of this disorder is biologically based? Should offenders with psychopathic traits be punished for their crimes if we can show that biological factors contribute? The text clearly assesses the conclusions that can and cannot be drawn from existing biological research, and highlights the pressing considerations this research demands.
