Essential Psychopharmacology: The Prescriber's Guide

by Stephen M. Stahl

In response to the rapid developments in psychopharmacology, this completely revised and updated edition of Stephen Stahl's much acclaimed Prescriber's Guide contains three new drugs. Almost every drug has had some changes to take into account new regulations and uses, Dr Stahl has updated every drug amending where necessary. Review from the first Prescriber's Guide '… The clinical tips and pearls that are found in each entry are invaluable - not only are dosing guidelines provided, but also the author's educated and respected opinion regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of each drug. The book's major strength is its readability and user friendliness. The art of psychopharmacology is finally given the space it deserves … This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's library.'

Deberían llamarlo "Guía para la vida de un agente de Psiquiatría".

This is an amazing resource to have on hand. I enjoyed the layout of the physical text more than I liked my electronic copy, but love the idea of having this with me in my clinical practice area. I highly recommend this prescribing guide.

A must have for all the prescribers of psychopharmacotherapeutics.

I loved the part where Stahl shouted "You Shall Not Pass" and kicked Schizophrenia in the D2 receptors.


...Why is this book on Goodreads, anyway?

I use this book everyday...it is one of the better (if not the best) guides available for psychopharm for APRN/MD or anyone working in psychiatry and handling medications. It covers adults and children...and has a great section on stopping medications as well as augmenting options.

A very complete pharmacotherapy manual, but sometimes hard to understand by oneself (maybe not for an expert, but surely for a student or someone just interested in knowing about the functioning of the pharmacos in our cerebral system).

Steve Stahl is the man who wrote the book on how to think about psychopharm for the uninitiated

Kindle version, very much a part of my work.
