Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is a bedrock for basic understanding of the complex and fast moving field of psychopharmacology, and should be a part of every prescribing clinician's library. It is highly recommended and will be useful in many contexts." Doody's Review Service G
From a review of the first edition...
"...very interesting...and should be of value to those among us who deal with the less happy encounters of people who interface adversely with current psychotherapeutic drugs... very informative and almost pleasurable to learn from. Two thumbs up for this offering." Journal of Clinical Toxicology
"The material is contemporary and extremely comprehensive, with complete lists of established drugs and descriptions of experimental drug therapies." Contemporary Psychology
"Those involved in teaching will find the text useful in preparation of lectures or seminars in psychopharamacology and the carroons make excellent teaching aids. Clinicians will find the book to be a painless source of basic information that they need to be informed practitioners of psychopharamacology really is well titled. It will become an essential source for the information that informs the teaching and practice of psychatric medicine over the next decade." Lancet 2001
"It is highly recommended for both novice and experienced researchers, who stand to gain a new or renewed appreciation for the complexity and beauty of how the nervous system mediates the behavioral effects of drugs." Contemporary Psychology
"It makes an excellent job of summarizing the history of disease categorization and treatment development in order to focus on current treatment and to convey neuropathological theories." Addiction Biology
Product Description
Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology has established itself as the preeminent source of education and information in its field. This much expanded second edition enlists advances in neurobiology, and recent clinical developments, to explain with renewed clarity the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. New neurotransmitter systems, new theories on schizophrenia, clinical advances in antipsychotic and antidepressant therapy, new coverage of attention deficit disorder, sleep disorders and drug abuse, and a new chapter on gender and sexual psychopharmacology--these are all features of this edition. The fully revised text is complemented by many new illustrations, instructive and entertaining as before, and enhanced to reflect new knowledge and topics covered for the first time. The illustrations and their captions may be used independently of the main text for a rapid introduction to the field or for review, and self-assessment tests follow each chapter. Even more, this will be the essential text for students, scientists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, enabling them to master the complexities of psychopharmacology, and plan sound treatment approaches based on current knowledge. A Teacher's Set of Essential Psychopharmacology, second edition, consists of the hardback book plus a Mac/PC compatible CD-ROM, which contains all the figures from the text in cleverly crafted PowerPoint® presentations in two versions: the complete sequence of more than 500 animated figures from the textbook, and the same images without animation. The CME credit for this book has been expired in April 2006.
