Clinical Psychopharmacology

A very detailed examination of the mind and the brain. Useful insights into pharmacotherapy and pharmacokinetics. Very thorough discussion of the implications for therapy.

Very Easy to Understand

This book breaks it down into simplistic terms, and as long as you are semi familiar with biology you should have no problem understanding how the medications work. I got this for my Psychopharmacology class and I expected it to to be so intimidating and complicated but its not. I love that it has sample vignettes to help you understand better. I would also recommend getting Preston's book "Clinical Psychopharmacology made ridiculously simple" as a supplement to this book. It breaks it down even more and groups the disorders with the specific drugs. Its a good review book.

Since the publication of its first edition, the Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists had filled a significant gap in the professional literature available to psychologists and other mental health clinicians: a practical, accessible guide to psychoactive medications that is both comprehensive and free from the complicated language and technical rigor found in medical schools texts. Thousands of therapists keep this book on their shelves to quickly reference drug facts for their clients. Tens of thousands of graduate and undergraduate students of psychology are first introduced to the medical treatment of mental health problems with the handbook. Now in its fifth edition, the book continues to be among the most important references for mental health clinicans.

The book is organized by disorder and, within each disorder, by medication. Reader learn the indications, contraindication, efficacy, side effects, and success indicators for each drug. Interactions between drugs are discussed, as are the differences between using certain medications in the treatment of adults and children and adolescents. In this edition, many details have been updated to reflect finds from ongoic research, including new material about the sexual side effects of antidepressants.
