Synopsis:

Practical Psychopharmacology, 2nd ed, takes the novel approach of writing at three different levels―beginning, intermediate, and advanced―to give the practicing psychopharmacologist a tailored experience.

Each chapter focuses on a specific DSM-5TR disorder and outlines abbreviated treatment guidelines to help the reader understand where their knowledge base and clinical practice currently reside. At the first level, the book teaches novice prescribers practical diagnostic skills and provides a brief overview of pertinent genetic and neuroimaging findings to increase prescribing confidence. Next, it provides mid-level clinicians with intermediate techniques and guidelines for more difficult cases. The final level provides nuanced guidance for advanced practitioners or those who see the most treatment-resistant patients.

This approach allows a clinician to access this book periodically throughout the care of an individual patient and to gradually progress through a series of more advanced psychopharmacological techniques for making accurate and efficient diagnoses.
