Club Drugs and Novel Psychoactive Substances

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This book is an invaluable resource in a fast changing and baffling field of psychiatry. It provides an up-to-date, evidence-based guide by leading experts to all you need to know to provide care for those suffering the mental health consequences of novel psychoactive drugs.' Adrian James, President, Royal College of Psychiatrists 'A very nice reading; very easy to follow and with a clear focus on the clinical issues, e.g. what the practicing clinician ... need to know to interact with the client; to make a diagnosis; and identify a proper treatment and management approach. Although the language and the tones here used are straightforward and direct, the content of the document is precise, really updated, and definitely non-judgmental. I particularly enjoyed reading the clinical vignettes; they illustrate a range of complex issues in a way which is simple enough for even the non experienced clinician/non experienced trainee to be able to understand. There are a few sections, e.g. the one on psychedelic phenethylamines and GHB, which are of particular value. The focus on GHB withdrawal is important and detailed.'
