Editorial Reviews

Review

The editors and authors have efficiently and readably compiled information derived from extraordinarily high levels of scientific and clinical knowledge and experience, to provide essential, useful and reliable information on specific topics pertinent to the informed treatment of psychiatrically ill persons and psychotic and major affective disorders. -- From the foreword by Ross J Baldessarini Advances in psychopharmacology, neurosciences, and information systems place considerable burden on authors of books describing 'new' therapies, as they face the risk of being obsolete before the printers ink dries. This book boldly (and admirably) takes on the challenge by condensing a wealth of material from numerous published studies whilst applying clinical experience. (It has) earned its place amongst reference bibliography for clinicians, lecturers, students, researchers and psychopharmacologists alike...an invaluable resource for those difficult situations. -- International Review of Psychiatry
