Psychoendocrinology: The Brain, Hormones, and Behavior

Abstract

Psychology and the neurosciences are both, although in completely different ways, centered around the functions of the central nervous system. Not only are the methodological paths they take different, but also the language with which scientific findings and hypotheses are exchanged. More recently, an increasing interest in interdisciplinary research is observable in clinical psychology. Utilizing three examples, the following expositions should illustrate how beneficial consequential interdisciplinary research can be.
