Recenzii
"This is an excellent resource that is easy to read, succinct but complete, and is based solely on research findings. I have read many psychopharmacology books, but this is one of the best because of how well it compiles a vast amount of information in short chapters. While the chapters about specific medications and conditions are well written, the chapters on research and basic prescribing practices are exceptional and complement the other chapters."
—Aaron Plattner, MD, Doody’s Book Reviews
"Well-designed, well-written and well-edited reference book… a concise reference that achieves its stated aim of delivering an up-to-date review of the most current understanding of the state of psychopharmacology to meet the needs of the busy senior practitioner but also trainees."
