A comprehensive professional resource for mental health
treatment--now in a fully revised and updated ninth edition
The Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists is the gold
standard for mental health clinicians looking for clear, reliable
information about the pharmacological treatment of mental health issues.
Organized by disorder and, within each disorder, by medication, this
book is designed to familiarize clinicians and students with the basic
terminology and models of psychopharmacology.
This fully revised and updated ninth edition provides essential
information on new medications and treatment options and includes the
latest research on side effects, contraindications, and efficacy of all
major medications prescribed for mental health disorders. You'll also
find new chapters on sleep disorders and experimental treatments,
updated information on child and adolescent psychopharmacology and the
latest best practices for treating pregnant and breastfeeding patients
and patients with substance use disorders.
This handbook makes it simple to: get the facts about drug interactions
and side effects; find out how medications affect adults, children, and
adolescents differently; learn how different cultures view medical
treatment, vital information for anyone who treats clients from a
variety of backgrounds; and discontinue medication safely when needed.
This essential guide to psychopharmacology has been adopted as a
textbook at universities nationwide and is an important resource for
every therapist's library.
