The second edition of Applied Biological Psychology explores neuroscientific discoveries like brain imaging, genetics, and cognitive studies to understand behaviors and their connections to psychiatric diagnoses. The first section of Applied Biological Psychology introduces students to foundational neuroscientific theory and research methods, while the second section reviews literature on mood disorders, anxiety disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and other diagnostic categories. The textbook includes case examples and discussions of special topics and ethics to enhance understanding and emphasizes differences and commonalities across diagnoses. Practical applications and ethical considerations in the second edition help bridge the gap between neuroscience theory and psychological practice. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
