From the book reviews:
This informative book, written and edited by an international array of well-known stress researchers, provides the latest information on the molecular mechanisms mediating stress in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric illnesses. ... The target audience includes bench neuroscientists and clinicians who want to learn about the latest research on fundamental neuroendocrine stress mechanisms and stress-related diseases. ... Each chapter ends with relevant and timely citations of the scientific literature. (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, January, 2015)1. The Brain on Stress: The Good and the Bad
