Doody's Review
"New psychiatric medications are emerging regularly, which should be celebrated and encouraged as we strive to minimize the pain of psychiatric conditions. However, it can be difficult to remember established medications while keeping up with these new medications. This guide is a helpful, efficient resource for both learning about newer medications and reminding practitioners about established ones. While the FDA package insert of medications is a more complete medication review, it can be cumbersome to sort through and does not provide what Dr. Stahl refers to as "The Art of Psychopharmacology," providing practical information that aids decision-making in ways the FDA Package Insert does not. My only caution would be for readers to have read through a psychopharmacological textbook before using this guide, as the guide will be more helpful if readers understand the background information. As more medications are produced, further editions will need to be published."
