Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology

This book features easily accessible information on indications, contraindications, dosing, drug interactions,
clinical monitoring, and adverse effects for more than 130 medications, including antidepressants,
antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, nutraceuticals/phytoceuticals, and more.

More than 130 medications are represented in this new Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology.
Intended as a quick-reference tool for clinicians, trainees, and other practitioners, it is rich in high-yield,
evidence-based, and easily accessible information for commonly prescribed psychopharmacological agents,
including antidepressants, antipsychotics, stimulants, mood stabilizers, and nutraceuticals/phytoceuticals.
For each medication covered, readers will find concise, easily referenced information on
• Indications
• Contraindications
• Dosing
• Drug interactions
• Clinical monitoring
• Adverse effects
Conveniently organized by drug class and indication, the handbook also features clinical pearls for each agent
and class from experts and published literature in the field. Readers will benefit from evidence-based
information on off-label prescribing, as well as from sections devoted to prescribing inspecial situations (e.g., pregnancy and lactation) and in specific populations (e.g., older adults and children/adolescents). As useful as a teaching tool and
study guide as it is as an on-the-spot resource in outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings,
the Handbook of Practical Psychopharmacology is the busy practitioner's must-have companion.
