More about this book
The Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs has become a standard reference and working tool for psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other mental health professionals.
This book is a must for everyone who needs an up-to-date, easy-to-use, comprehensive summary of all the most relevant information about psychotropic drugs.
New in this edition
“The 2023 update to the Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs is a compelling inclusion in any clinician’s reference library, as it provides substantial coverage of the pharmacology underpinning the psychiatric armamentarium. As a reference tool it is well-organized, has a layout that is easily intuited, and provides evidence-based information not readily available in other well-known texts and apps.
Medications are organized by most-common clinical use. Of particular interest: each section is concluded with a series of medication comparison tables that include the different neurotransmitters and their functions, pharmacokinetics, frequencies of adverse reactions, and overviews for switching medications and augmentation strategies.”
Patrick Thurber, MSN, PMHNP-BC, Bisbee, AZ, in Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 2023, 44
“This is a a very important book that provides valuable information which otherwise would be scattered among different publications. With the increasing rate of prescription of psychotropic drugs, this volume should be on the desk of every physician. The information is crucial for understanding side effects, vulnerabilities, and interactions of psychotropic drug treatment.”
Giovanni A. Fava, MD, in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 2019
