The Best Psychopharm Reference!,
By
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs (Paperback)
The editors have really done a fantastic job of compiling psychopharm data into one reference. The reference covers medications by category and class using tons of tables and a standardized layout that allows one to contrast and compare. The "extra touches," such as tables of drug interactions, tables listing the effects of each med on specific neuroreceptors, and tables listing the freq of adverse reactions, make this reference a gem. Several other wonderful things have been thrown in as well--a section on ECT, a section on herbal products, and a patient information sheets that can be copied and passed on to patients. In summary, this reference provides a clear and concise view of psychotropic meds. A must buy!
