Product Description
In response to the rapid developments in pscyhopharmacology, this is a spin-off from Stephen Stahl's new completely revised and updated edition of his much acclaimed Prescriber's Guide. It covers the 20 most important drugs in use today for psychosis and mood stabilization. From a review of the first Prescriber's Guide: ' ... The clinical tips and pearls that are found in each entry are invaluable - not only are dosing guidelines provided, but also the author's educated and respected opinion regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of each drug. The book's major strength is its readability and user friendliness. The art of psychopharmacology is finally given the space it deserves. ...This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's library.' The Annals of Pharmacotherapy

Easy format, to the point December 31, 2008
M. Annal (connecticut)
I use this book frequently, and think it invaluable for those of us who do general medicine--very easy to find vital information such as titration and tapering of meds, great "pearls". Down and dirty, non-esoteric, great for every day use.
Valuable psychiatric meds resource for psychologists December 28, 2008
E. Dyer (Queensland Australia)
This book has a wealth of detail about psychiatric medications including both the mecahnisms of action in the brain, but also the useful side-effects and the likelihood of the different ones, eg weight gain, mental alertness etc. Also the potential problems of combination effects and many other aspects including wash-out times for changing. It very helpfully cross-references the pharmacological name with the current brand names. A small problem for me is that it does not have all the Australian brand names so when this happens I check the web, then add these into the book, but this is only rarely needed.The book gives me confidence in greater awareness of what might be medication-induced side-effects when I am seeing a client and also how to provide more information to them about meds as it appears that they often don't have this. The book is very well laid=out so you can see things quicly without having to wade through reams of text. A very valuable book which I cannot recommend highly enough
Essential Psychopharmacology: The Prescriber's Guide: Revised and Updated Edition (Essential Psychopharmacology Series October 13, 2008

This is a must have text for any advanced practice nurse who prescribes medications for mentally ill clients. It is a must for any psychiatric nurse as well. Excellent book.
New to psych meds--this is your guide! September 28, 2008
T. Davis (Poulsbo, WA USA)
I am new to long term care and had never before been responsible for managing residents with bipolar disease, major depression, mania, insomnia, dementia, epilepsy, etc. I found myself with patients heralding longstanding psychopharmacology use and I needed an easy-to-understand text to assist me in managing expectations, dosing, side effects and precautions...now! Stahl's guide went far beyond a standard nursing drug reference, including sections on "how to dose", "best augmenting combos for partial response or treatment resistance" and a section for considerations in special populations (renal impairment, geriatric, children, pregnancy). The format and layout is easy on the eye, and it doesn't read like a heavy pharmacology text. Of the hundreds of manuals I have on my shelf at home--this is the one I carry to work everyday. Great book!

I feel that I have wasted my money on this book. The book contains only a minimal amount of info regarding psychtropic. In addition, I was looking for a more complete list that what ws provided in this book.
I have plans to resale this book back on amazaon
]Thanks
