• An all-new introductory chapter, designed to equip the reader with a basic understanding of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
• Four main chapters covering the four main groups of psychotropic medications: antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, and mood stabilizers
• A consistent format for all four chapters that summarizes critical information about each group of medications, including drug class, indications, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, main side effects, drug-drug interaction, potentiating maneuvers, and use in special populations
• A wealth of tables and graphs for quick clinical consultation and unique self-instruction sets of questions and answers
• Fascinating and educational vignettes and puzzlers, extensive references for further reading, and—new to this edition—an invaluable appendix of fifty questions and answers, designed to test the reader's knowledge and comprehension of the text
Densely informative and packed with practical material and special features, this truly essential guide is a handy clinical reference for experienced clinicians, an ideal teaching tool for educators, and a useful resource for residents, especially those preparing for the psychiatry board examinations.
