Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology

More than 130 medications are represented in this new Handbook of Practical
Psychopharmacology. Intended as a quick-reference tool for clinicians, trainees,
and other practitioners, it is rich in high-yield, evidence-based, and easily
accessible information for commonly prescribed psychopharmacological agents,
including antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants, mood stabilizers, and
nutraceuticals/phytoceuticals.

For each medication covered, readers will
find concise, easily referenced information on Indications Contraindications
Dosing Drug interactions Clinical monitoring Adverse effects

Conveniently organized by drug class and indication, the handbook also
features clinical pearls for each agent and class from experts and published
literature in the field. Readers will benefit from evidence-based information on
off-label prescribing, as well as from sections devoted to prescribing in
special situations (e.g., pregnancy and lactation) and in specific populations
(e.g., older adults and children/adolescents).

As useful as a teaching
tool and study guide as it is as an on-the-spot resource in outpatient,
inpatient, and emergency settings, the Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology
is the busy practitioner's must-have companion.
