Schatzberg's Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology
is a meticulously researched, yet down-to-earth guide for practitioners
prescribing psychotropic medications to individuals with psychiatric
disorders or symptoms mandating treatment. The ninth edition offers
up-to-date information on current drugs, interactions, side effects, and
dosing guidelines, and retains the strengths and features that have made it
a standard text for trainees and practicing clinicians. The authors also
include a new chapter on important developments in laboratory-guided
pharmacotherapy, including pharmacogenomic testing, neurocognitive testing,
quantitative EEG, and neuroimaging. Although the book's primary purpose is
to provide the reader-practitioner with basic and practical information
regarding the many classes of psychiatric medications, the authors stress
that understanding how to select and prescribe psychotropic medications does
not obviate the basic need to comprehensively evaluate and understand
psychiatric patients. Accordingly, the book draws on the authors' clinical
experience, as well as on the scientific literature, resulting in an
accessible, yet rigorous text.
Features that have helped cement this
book's reputation include:
• Coverage is not limited to long-standing and newly approved
medications, but also includes agents that are likely to receive approval
from the FDA in the near future, ensuring that the reader stays
up-to-date.
• References are provided for key statements, and each
chapter is then followed by a list of selected relevant articles and books
for readers who want to go beyond the material presented, making for a
leaner, more reader-friendly guide.
• Dozens of summary tables with key
information on classes of psychotropics function as quick-reference guides,
promoting learning and serving as convenient resources for overloaded
clinicians.
• The appendix offers two kinds of suggested readings. The
first, for clinicians, is invaluable to trainees, while the second, for
patients and families, helps point clinicians to books aimed at a lay
audience to supplement information provided to patients.
Staying
abreast of both new medications and promising treatment protocols is
essential in this rapidly evolving field. Schatzberg's Manual of Clinical
Psychopharmacology delivers authoritative information in a friendly,
collegial style, ensuring that both students and practicing clinicians are
equipped to provide a superior standard of care.
