Essential Psychopharmacology

In response to the rapid developments in pscyhopharmacology, this is a spin-off from Stephen Stahl's new completely revised and updated edition of his much acclaimed Prescriber's Guide. It covers the 20 most important drugs in use today for psychosis and mood stabilization. From a review of the first Prescriber's Guide: ' ...The clinical tips and pearls that are found in each entry are invaluable - not only are dosing guidelines provided, but also the author's educated and respected opinion regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of each drug. The book's major strength is its readability and user friendliness. The art of psychopharmacology is finally given the space it deserves...This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's library.'
