Review
"David Healy is one or the most stimulating and challenging writers on drug treatments. This book continues his tradition of producing well written, highly readable presentations of difficult subjects. I found the copious user information boxes most valuable and will use them with my clients." Mike Smith, Director of nursing, Nursing Times, Vol 97, no 47, November 2002
