Anxiolytics

This volume highlights today's and tomorrow's anxiolytics, examining in details the strengths and weaknesses of different classes of proposed anxiolytics. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged international expert actively working in the field. Essentially intended for researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry, the book is also of interest to psychiatrists and medical students interested in this specialty. In addition those in the pharmaceutical industry (strategic marketing, licencing, portfolio management...) who need to be able to foresee future developments in the anxiolytic drug scene will find the insights obtained from this volume to be invaluable. By putting side by side today's and tomorrow's anxiolytics the text underlines the progress made (and sometimes the lack of it) in different areas. After reading this book, the reader should have a good "feeling" of where the anxiolytic field is going in the next few years.
