Practical Psychopharmacology

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Dr. Thomas Schwartz has 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, Dr. Schwartz recognizes 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

"The text Practical Psychopharmacology: Basic to Advanced Principles by Dr. Thomas Schwartz is an apotheosis of erudition, pragmatism, and knowledge-transfer. Dr. Schwartz's discerning and artful approach provides multi-disciplinary practitioners with an incredibly comprehensive, yet succinct and accessible synthesis of the science and art of psychopharmacology. This textbook 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 provides a thoroughly practical guide to the contemporary practice of psychopharmacology. Loaded with clinical pearls, this book is essential reading for prescribers in training and for those who are looking for a handy way to stay up-to-date."
