Biography
R. H. Ettinger is Professor of Psychology at Eastern Oregon University. His research focuses on psychopharmacology and includes investigations of the neural mechanisms underlying feeding and addiction. Notably, it has led to the development of an anti-cocaine antibody and an understanding of the role of Pavlovian conditioning in drug tolerance and addiction.
"Ettinger’s Psychopharmacology is an excellent resource for students and professional scholars alike for a comprehensive understanding of the psychoactive drugs, from medications to recreational substances. With a strong basis in biological and behavioral mechanisms and with an engaging review of mental health disorders including addiction, this volume provides an excellent and functional resource for the field of Psychopharmacology."
