5.0 out of 5 stars beautifully simple, March 22, 2009

me - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handbook of Psychiatric Drugs, 2008 Edition (Current Clinical Strategies Medical Book) (Paperback)

This book is exactly what it claims to be. It's a pocket-sized book and doesn't waste paper on any nonsense. It's very simply a list of psychotropic medications, their side effects, what they're used for, etc. It's not exactly enough for a reader to become a psychiatrist, but it's perfect for any counselor who wants to understand what their clients are taking and why.
