that environment. Psychopharmacology is the study of the
effects of prescription drugs on mood and other
behaviors. (Colman, Companion Encyclopedia of
Psychology) The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve
as a guideline for student research. It is not intended
as a comprehensive listing of all the materials in the
library, but as a selective sampling of the many types
of resources available on this topic.
