Reviews / Votes
'What began as a description of the prescribing practice in a particular trust has now become an essential reference for anyone with the responsibility for prescribing or monitoring psychotropics and anticonvulsants ... This is a unique volume of immense value for guiding the trainee and the more experienced in the rational, safe and effective use of psychotropic medication for those with mental illness.' - Celia Feetman, The Psychiatric Bulletin'...provides exactly "what it says on the tin"...I would regard this book as mandatory for any pharmacist directly involved in the care of patients with a psychiatric diagnosis, be they primary or secondary care-based.' - Thom Shaw, The Pharmaceutical Journal
