review
So far I've only gotten throught the first chapter. It's a dense amount of information, but it is incredibly well written and informative. No extra words just to take up space and get something into book format. It's definetly a text book. The first chapter gives you an extensive review of the human relationship with drugs since the beginning of time, and forty pages later, I feel enlightened and ...

Essential Psychopharmacology: the Prescriber's Guide
Great book! I went to a training by the author on polypharmacy in the treatment of individuals with mental illnesses. I then bought his general "Essential Psychopharmacology" book that was fairly complex, but the cartoons made the information fairly understandable for a non medical person like myself. The "Prescriber's Guide" is much more understandable and very useful in it's discussion of ...

CDS Books, 2006

very helpful to parents
A thoughtful and helpful book for a complex subject. Dr. Kalikow addresses the decision making process of the parents, the child and the health care professional when choosing how to address the needs of their child. It is written clearly, with humor, compassion and tenderness. I believe parents will be able to make a more educated decision after reading this book.

The Miracle of MSM : The Natural Solution for Pain

Stanley W. Jacob MD

Putnam Adult, 1999

Best book on MSM by far ...
This title by Drs. Jacob and Lawrence is by far the best word on MSM (along with product manufacturers dmso2.com etc). I, also, prefer the hardback version of this book. It is out of print but I found that it is still available at the distributor (msmsupplement.com as mentioned by someone in another review). I hope that there is a new, updated version of this book on the horizon, because I know ...

Straight Talk about Psychiatric Medications for Kids

7 reviews
Timothy E. Wilens

The Guilford Press, 2002

A useful book for both parents and professionals
When parents want to know more about medications for their child's disorder, I often refer them to this book. The book is organized by type of disorder (such as AD/HD, depression or anxiety) and by type of medication. This is good because some people want to know about a specific class of medications, while others want an overview of medication strategies for a particular disorder. I ...

Jack S. Margolis, Richard Clorfene

Pocket, 1976

A precious Seventies classic
I discovered this book at the library of the Catholic elementary school I went to around 1973. Yep, apparently the nun in charge of buying books was browsing the bestseller list and assumed from the title that it was a childrens' book. Ha haaaaw!! Rick D. and I checked it out in turns and loved it. Of course its content was soon discovered and it was removed from the library (no doubt ...

The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience: The Classic Guide to the Effects of LSD on the Human Psyche

7 reviews
Robert Masters, Jean Houston

Park Street Press, 2000

Best Ever Work About The Psychedelic Experience
Brand new re-issue of the classic 1966 work. If "The Doors Of Perception" was the most important work on psychedelics because of its influence, this then is by far the greatest because of its impeccable research, its far-ranging implications and its clear, lucid and compelling putting together of the evidence for the remarkable therapeutic and consciousness-illuminating value of LSD and other ...

A Primer of Drug Action: A Concise Nontechnical Guide to the Actions, Uses and Side Effects

6 reviews
Robert M. Julien

W.H.Freeman & Co Ltd, 1995

Better than a $100 psychopharmacology text
I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in getting real facts about psychoactive drugs. Don't be fooled by the low price or the fact that it is "nontechnical." (All that means is that psychiatrists can read it without digging though their biochem notes!) This is a real medical-grade book that gives a very complete and easy-to-understand introduction to the drugs used to treat ...

William Dailey Antiquarian Books, 2004

Important argument, beautifully produced book
The authors of `Road to Eleusis' - they include Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD, and Gordon Wasson, the white man who in 1957 revealed the continued existence of the pre-Columbian sacred-mushroom rite to the non-Mexican Indian world - argue that a water-soluble alkaloid contained in ergot, a tiny fungus which attacks grains and grasses, was the principal psychoactive ingredient of the ...

Lots of Laughs!
I was happily surprised to find this was not your stereotypical story about hippies. The characters were all unique and there were surprises at every turn.I couldn't put it down, read the whole thing over the weekend. Now that I've read this very funny book I understand why the author calls it a "true tale". I highly recommend this book to parents to give as gifts to their teenagers. This is ...

Alan F. Schatzberg

American Psychiatric Association, 1995

Textbook of psychopharmacology - must have
For graduate students, medical students, residents or professors - anyone interested in psychopharmacology should have this book! The reference section alone is worth it's weight in gold. There is simply no comparable text that is as comprehensive and readable. The reviews of both the basic science as well as the clinical literature is a remarkable feature, and is extremely well integrated.
