Media Reviews
a very well written compilation.an absolute must for anyone dealing with psychopharmacology and patients. -Doody's Reviews ... 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 An excellent book and a 'must' for practising psychiatrists...not only will the rational prescribing of psychotropic drugs drastically improve but, more importantly, the patient will certainly benefit. -Brian Leonard, Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental (for 6th edition)
