The Psychotherapist's Guide to Psychopharmacology
Autor M.D. Gitlin, Michael J.en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 1996
Michael J. Gitlin's indispensable first edition of "The Psychotherapists Guide to Psychopharmacology" has now been updated and revised -- this new second edition now reflects major changes that have influenced the clinical arena in the last five years such as the recent release of DSM-IV and the domination of the psychopharmacological field by the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, such as fluoxetine (Prozac). "The Psychotherapists Guide to Psychopharmacology, Second Edition" also now includes coverage of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and contains updated sections on the new antipsychotics for schizophrenia and the increased use of anticonvulsant mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder. The book also includes other significant changes that have influenced the field over the last few years, such as brain imaging studies, research in obsessive compulsive disorder and social phobia, and such prominent topics in women's health as pregnancy, PMS, postpartum disorders, and breast feeding.
This revision of an already established guide will again be an essential reference for all nonmedical professionals involved in treating mental and emotional disorders.
