Synopsis

In response to rapid developments in psychopharmacology, this is a spin-off from Stephen M. Stahl's new, completely revised and updated version of his much-acclaimed Prescriber's Guide. It covers the most important drugs in use today for treating depression. In full color throughout, and with four or more pages for each antidepressant, Stephen M. Stahl distills his great expertise into a pragmatic formulary that gives all the information a prescriber needs to treat patients effectively. Each drug is covered in five categories: general therapeutics, dosing and use, side effects, special populations, and pearls. Target icons appear next to key categories for each drug so that the prescriber can go easily and instantly to the information needed. Several indices are included, listing drugs by name (generic and international) and use. In addition, Dr Stahl indicates which drugs have FDA approval and also gives the FDA Use-in-Pregnancy ratings.

About this title

Review:

"Essential reading ... I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who works with psychotropic drugs - or who has the task of teaching others about them!" American Journal of Psychiatry "All of Dr. Stahl's writing is characterized by clarity of presentation and a notable ability to transform complicated scientific principles into readily understood prose. Characteristically, he illustrates his instructions with informative, charming, and sometimes witty cartoon figures and diagrams. Dr. Stahl has a gift for teaching, and it is a pleasure to recommend this book." Journal of Clinical Psychiatry "Essential Psychopharmacology offers a wide range of readers an engaging and comprehensive view of psychopharmacology. It is highly recommended to both novice and experienced researchers, who stand to gain a new or renewed appreciation for the complexity and beauty of how the nervous system mediates the behavioral effects of drugs." Contemporary Psychology
