Psychopharmacology has changed the face of modern psychiatry. Yet it is rare to find in the literature such a deeply informative yet eminently practical manual on this complex subject. Here, three senior psychopharmacologists offer a unique clinical perspective and practical advice on applying psychotropic medications to the treatment of specific psychiatric conditions. Clearly written in a collegial, narrative style for easy reading and comprehension, the sixth edition of this bestselling manual offers extensively updated chapters with new sections and summary tables for quick reference, including the latest information on antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antianxiety agents, hypnotics, and stimulants. This comprehensive clinical guide emphasizes practical advice--i.e., specific recommendations about dosing, titration, and combining medications--derived from the authors extensive clinical experience. It begins with general principles of psychopharmacological treatment, including advice on legal, ethical, and economic issues. Subsequent chapters cover past, current, and future treatments for all major classes of medications, including mechanisms of action and pharmacokinetics. It also features chapters on augmentation strategies for treatment resistant disorders, emergency room treatment, pharmacotherapy for substance use disorders, and special topics such as pregnancy and mental retardation, with a fascinating final chapter on herbals and dietary supplements. With its liberal use of tables and illustrations, and dual appendices on medication strengths and costs and suggested readings, this up-to-date, practical manual will be warmly welcomed by not only practitioners, but also students (including those in nursing and pharmacy) and psychopharmacology residents.

The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychopharmacology boasts a long and unassailable reputation as a classic, providing a clearly written, meticulously cross-referenced, and user-friendly guide to this swiftly evolving field. This new 5th Edition has been thoroughly updated in the context of the latest research and reflects the introduction of DSM-5. The chapter authors were carefully selected for their expertise, and the editors have ensured that the resulting text is consistent in style and approach across topics and sections. The journey beginning with the core principles of molecular biology, genetics and genomics, and pharmacokinetics, continuing with the myriad classes of psychopharmacological agents, and ultimately arriving at the treatment of major psychiatric disorders as well as of specific age groups and circumstances is logical, easy to follow, and authoritative.
Both physicians still in training and clinicians who regularly prescribe psychotropic medications will find the up-to-date and specific guidance on drug selection invaluable. The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychopharmacology remains an essential, and trusted, companion.

The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Psychopharmacology

The Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology has been the leading resource for the clinical use of psychiatric medications for more than 30 years. Now in its ninth edition, the manual continues to offer thoroughly updated, exhaustively vetted, and evidence-based information on psychotropic drugs in a collegial, conversational style that both training and practicing clinicians will find useful and authoritative. To ensure that the ever-expanding number of available agents with widening indications receives proper coverage, the authors have continued their effort to cull or condense coverage of less commonly used agents (e.g., barbiturates) in favor of more recently approved drugs (e.g., VMAT-2 inhibitors for tardive dyskinesia, pimavanserin) and those whose approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) appears imminent. This approach has helped to maintain a user-friendly size, and the volume's logical structure makes information easy to locate on the fly, a boon to busy practitioners. The authors devote an entire chapter, new to this edition, to important developments in laboratory-guided pharmacotherapy, including pharmacogenomic testing, neurocognitive testing, quantitative EEG, and neuroimaging.
Its ease of use, accessible style, and evidence-based content have helped to elevate Schatzbergs Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology to the well-deserved stature of a classic, which no mental health clinician should be without.
