Principles of Psychopharmacology for Mental Health Professionals addresses the current "split" model of mental health care, in which physicians provide pharmaco-therapy while non-prescribing practitioners oversee other services such as psychotherapy. Bringing these two areas together, this book familiarizes mental health professionals with the medications used to treat psychiatric disorders. Prepared by world-renowned psychopharmacologists and psychiatrists, this useful resource helps non-prescribing practitioners understand when and why a given medication is appropriate to use, when it is not indicated, and what potential side effects may occur. Also discussed are the appropriate times in therapy when a referral for a medication evaluation is indicated as well as how to broach this issue with the patient. Recognizing that there are almost always a number of medications from which to choose, the authors combine research outcomes with their extensive clinical experience to highlight the important considerations in selecting one medication over another. As an educational tool, the text encourages and supports clinicians who wish to increase patients' understanding of treatment. After an introduction and overview, chapters cover: * Basics of psychopharmacology * Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder * Mood disorders * Sleep disorders * Schizophrenia * Cognitive disorders * Anxiety disorders * Personality disorders * Substance use disorders * Traumatic brain injury * Eating disorders * Side effects Every chapter includes diagnostic considerations, history of medication treatments, and emerging trends for each disease. Principles of Psychopharmacology for Mental Health Professionals lays out what psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners need to know about psychotropic medications, giving them and their patients an invaluable guide to the full array of treatments available.

Bringing together the research studies of more than 30 research psychiatrists and scientists, "Neuropeptides and Psychiatric disorders" examines the recent advances in the neurobiology of neuropeptides and their importance in the pathogenesis of the major psychiatric disorders including depression and schizophrenia. Each chapter in this volume covers a particular neuropeptide and discusses in detail their role in psychiatric disorders. In Chapter 1, the author provides the reader with a brief introduction to the neurobiology of neuropeptides. In Chapter 3, the contributors review the evidence that alterations in the brain of CSF somatostatin might reflect or contribute to the pathophysiology of several neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease and depression. Chapter 6, briefly summarize an extensive literature of studies of the anterior pitutiary hormone growth hormone in various psychiatric disease states and then focuses on more recent studies of the role of the 44-amino acid hypothalamic peptide, human growth hormone-releasing factor (HGRF) in the pathophysiology of growth hormone disturbances in the psychiatric illness. Chapter 8, suggests that oxytocin may affect human behaviour and psychopathology. The chapter begins with an overview of oxytocin systems in the brain with an emphasis on findings that have psychiatric implications, and concludes by summarizing the evidence for the role of oxytocin in major affective disorders as well as psychiatric disorders associated with changes in female reproductive states. Two peptides are examined in Chapter 13. Neuropeptide Y (NPY), and delta sleep-inducing peptide are both involved in a number of central nervous system actions, and possibly also in neuropsychiatric illnesses. Chapter 14, discusses and critiques the techniques that are available to study receptors. Such methods as the use of antibody and molecular biological techniques which represent the future directions for studying receptors are also discussed. To conclude, Chapter 15 reviews clinical findings as well as findings using neuroendocrine and peptide challenge tests in patients with primary and secondary affective disorders with and without organic factors presumed to be etiologic in the affective syndromes.

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.
