PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY, A CONCISE OVERVIEW FOR STUDENTS AND CLINICIANS, 2nd Edition, is an evidence-based overview of basic pharmacological therapies commonly used in psychiatry. The biological and clinical aspects of the use of antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and ADHD and substance use disorder medications are briefly discussed. Following each section, an updated table with the clinical characteristics, dosing, and indications of both older and newer medications is included. Newer antidepressants and antipsychotics are also discussed. This book is an expansion and update of the authors’ previous book for medical students. Both prescribing and non-prescribing clinicians and therapists, who need to have a functional familiarity with available pharmacotherapies, may benefit from this overview. Finally, others with an academic or personal interest in this topic are also likely to find this book useful.
