Practical Psychopharmacology, 2nd ed, takes the novel approach of writing at three different levels-beginning, intermediate, and advanced-to give the practicing psychopharmacologist a tailored experience.
Each chapter focuses on a specific DSM-5TR disorder and outlines abbreviated treatment guidelines to help the reader understand where their knowledge base and clinical practice currently reside. At the first level, the book teaches novice prescribers practical diagnostic skills and provides a brief overview of pertinent genetic and neuroimaging findings to increase prescribing confidence. Next, it provides mid-level clinicians with intermediate techniques and guidelines for more difficult cases. The final level provides nuanced guidance for advanced practitioners or those who see the most treatment-resistant patients.
This approach allows a clinician to access this book periodically throughout the care of an individual patient and to gradually progress through a series of more advanced psychopharmacological techniques for making accurate and efficient diagnoses.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book is true to its name-it is practical, and, in separate sections of each chapter, it covers both basic and advanced principles. This makes it of great use to both trainees and experienced clinicians. It is not common to find books that are scientifically sound and evidence-based on the one hand and thoroughly practical on the other. All those who prescribe psychiatric medications would do well to keep this book handy."

"Practical Psychopharmacology, 2nd edition, is that rare book that speaks to a wide range of students, trainees and clinicians. It demystifies the complex discipline of psychopharmacology in an accessible, authoritative, and practical package that can be used to understand theory and to guide and inform the very complex treatment decisions we face every day. I consider this a must-have book for anyone interested in the science and application of the exciting and rapidly evolving field of psychopharmacology no matter their discipline or level of education."
Andrew J. Cutler, MD, chief medical officer, Neuroscience Education Institute
"Dr. Thomas Schwartz and colleagues have succeeded admirably in writing a psychopharmacology handbook based on advancing levels of knowledge and expertise. But this book does much more: it provides diagnostic screening questions, DSM-5 interviewing criteria, rating scales, and invaluable background material on epidemiology, genetics, and neuroanatomy. Furthermore, the authors recognize that the core skills of psychotherapy are needed in psychopharmacology-a critical insight that penetrates to the core of psychiatry's goals and values."
Ronald W. Pies, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry, Tufts University School of Medicine, professor of psychiatry and lecturer on bioethics and humanities, SUNY Upstate Medical University
"Practical Psychopharmacology is an apotheosis of erudition, pragmatism, and knowledge transfer. The authors' discerning and artful approach provides multidisciplinary practitioners with an incredibly comprehensive yet succinct and accessible synthesis of the science and art of psychopharmacology. This book is an essential resource for any individual who is training and/or providing care to persons with common and severe mental disorders."
Roger S. McIntyre, MD, FRCPC, professor of psychiatry and pharmacology, University of Toronto, executive director, Brain and Cognition Discovery Foundation (BCDF), head of Mood Disorders Psychopharmacology Unit
"In this useful book, Thomas Schwartz and colleagues provide a thoroughly practical guide to the contemporary practice of psychopharmacology. Loaded with clinical pearls, this book is essential for prescribers in training and for those who are looking for a handy way to stay up to date."
Michael Thase, MD, professor of psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania and the Corporal Michael Crescenz Veterans Affairs Medical Center
