With the increasing rate of prescriptions of psychotropic drugs, this book should be on the desk of every physician. This new edition of a widely acclaimed handbook conveys, with exceptional clarity and immediacy, meaningful information that would be difficult to find elsewhere. Such information is crucial for understanding the side effects and vulnerabilities induced by psychotropic drug treatment.;Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics 2017;86:320-321; "A user-friendly and practical resource guide to using psychotropic drugs in any setting... The handbook is well organized and covers almost every treatment used in psychiatry, arranged by disease state and class. Each medicine or class of medicine is subjected to a thorough review ofnearly everything one should understand. It is easy to read and/or reference quick information. The comprehensive information on each class of drugs is what makes this book so useful. As a psychiatrist who routinely prescribes medications, I find this handbook invaluable."; Corey Goldstein, MD, Rush University Medical Center, in Doody's Listings and Reviews, 2016; The Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic Drugs is a standard reference and working tool for psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other mental health professionals. The handbook is continually updated and provides current evidence-based and clinically relevant information to optimize patient care.
