	Psychopharmacology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychopharmacology is the study of the effects of any psychoactive drug that acts upon the mind by affecting brain chemistry.
		Amanita muscaria (the common Fly Agaric) is often regarded as the first such drug, with modern theories positing the discovery of its psychoactive properties circa 10,000 BCE.
		Modern psychopharmacology studies a wide range of chemicals with many different types of effect.

		Psychopharmacology in couples work can be useful in all stages of therapy: 1) to control initial symptoms; 2) to improve communication; 3) to modulate biological temperaments related to personality issues; and 4) to reduce excessive stress during life transition (Resnikoff, 2001).
		The use of psychopharmacology in this case was to modify lifelong temperaments.
		For John and Carol, psychopharmacology also reinforced the initial stage-1 behavioral changes and the stage-2 corrections of their polarized power balance and intimacy styles.

	Psychopharmacology and the human condition
		It is probable that most humans throughout recorded history have lived in a 'sick society'; a society in which almost everyone was ill, people were physically malnourished, stunted and mentally impaired - a society in which most of the populations are potential 'patients' with the ability to benefit from appropriate treatment.
		Technologies of gratification, of which psychopharmacology is an example, are human-created mechanisms that aim at the satisfaction of evolved instincts.
		His case reports of patients who report feeling 'better than well' on Fluoxetine are supported by many reports in the psychiatric literature of similar responses from tricyclics and monoamine oxidase inhibitors [9].

		Common experience can provide a general description of the dose-response effect: For example, a sip of coffee will be subthreshold and will not help a student stay awake to study; a cupful will certainly help, and two might be better; five or six cups might lead to tremor and anxiety.
		Individuals who are already highly aroused may respond adversely to even small doses of a stimulant drug because it effectively increases the arousal to a level that interferes with performance.
		The discipline of psychopharmacology in its modern form arose from the convergence of two separate areas of study: (a) the growing information about neurotransmission and the drugs that influenced it, and (b) B. Skinner's development of operant conditioning techniques for the study of behaviour.
