Relying upon the best-selling third edition of Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology, Dr. Stephen M. Stahl has revised chapters covering antipsychotics and mood stabilizers for this third edition of Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers. More than one-third longer than the previous edition, Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers is essential reading for professionals treating psychosis and students learning the mechanisms of drug reactions. This updated edition includes advances in neurobiology and recent clinical developments to explain the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. The fully revised text is complemented by many new illustrations and enhanced to reflect new knowledge and topics not covered in the previous edition. Intended as a primer text covering all aspects of treatment for psychosis and related conditions, this concise volume can nevertheless be read cover to cover by experts and novices alike.
Contents
1. Psychosis and schizophrenia; 2. Antipsychotic agents.
Review
"Stephen Stahl is one of the most recognizable names in psychopharmacology. He is an inspiring teacher who has a knack for synthesizing complex scientific information for students, residents, psychiatrists, and nonmedical mental health practitioners....[H]e has started publishing psychopharmacology books that are not only very readable and up-to-date, but are in my opinion the most creatively illustrated texts of psychopharmacology. My trainees rave about his books and quote them often."
