Great resource!

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

The best book I’ve read on the subject! Concise, clear and informative. As a therapist this is a great resource - it’s even something I can share with clients for a better understanding of medication treatment.
The book is organized per disorder or disorder category and decision trees are in each chapter. There is also a list of biological and medical factors as well as medications that could cause certain disorders. I just love the layout and ease of this book. Must read for practitioners and prescribers!!

Excellent resource for mental health clinicians

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

This tiny little book contains a stunning amount of info on psychotropic meds. As a clinical social worker who works alongside a team of psychiatrists this is an invaluable resource. Contains many helpful tidbits about lesser known medical/psych contraindications and how to make more accurate psych diagnoses. My only complaint is the limited info on non-benzo treatments for anxiety. Yes, benzos are the go-to but many psychs are leaning away from them because of dependency issues and I think this area deserves more discussion than a few sentences. But anyway, all in all the price/value makes it a 5 star purchase! If you’re in the field you won’t regret this buy.

*A quick aside — this is a pocket guide/primer. NOT a desk reference. If you are seeking a complete psychopharm manual you will need to fork over for Stahl’s prescriber’s text. Around $50-$70 for the 6th edition used here on Amazon as of 10/2017 and worth every penny.*

and I really enjoyed reading it

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018

I got this book for CE credits, and I really enjoyed reading it. It's short and easy to read in one sitting. The authors make it very easy to understand psychopharmacology and it's clinical uses. I always enjoy clinical case examples and this book provided several that gives more practical comprehension.

Ridiculously SImple!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I am a RN and just started a PMHNP program. I wanted to get a head start on psychopharmacology. So far the book has been an easy read and is not boggled down with irrelevant details. I like that it provides case examples and required labs for certain medications. Overall this will not replace your psychopharmacology book but is a great portable guide to have with you at all times!

Great and simple

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book breaks down all the common meds used within the psychological field to treat various disorders in a simplified manner. I definitely recommend to anyone going into the field as a psychologist, therapist, behavior analyst, or psychotherapist because it is extremely important to understand the various effects medication can have on the body and a person's behavior as well as understanding how various medications can interact with one another.

Trememdous Little Book of Medication Knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

This takes an absurdly complicated subject and makes it so even a person with a street-level understanding of interacting biological mechanisms can understand most of the information in one read, two at the most. There are tons of tidbits of knowledge in here, from the expected interaction tables to the never known before fact that some meds deplete biotin (which helps retain hair growth) and one really should supplement while on it. Even my psychiatrist has been impressed with the level of knowledge this handy little book provides. I highly recommend that if you or anyone you care about takes psychoactive medications this should be in your library.

Absolutely indispensable for anyone involved with prescribing psych meds!

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

I'm doing a psychiatry elective rotation towards getting my MD right now.
Like most psychiatry offices today, the focus is a lot on prescribing the right meds.
I brought this book into work the day after I received it in the mail and showed it to the PA's, MDs', nurse practitioners, psychologists etc, and they were all in love with it instantly (as was I).

No other guide sums up the important need-to-knows and essential bullet points for meds like this book. Not only that, but at a price that even a starving student can afford.
Also it is cutting edge and extremely up to date with the newest information (we saw one particular antidepressant in the book that we didn't recognize and the next day a pharm rep came buy to to announce the exact same new drug was becoming available!).

Needless to say, all the clinicians in my practice went ahead and bought copies of the book for themselves and it has definitely changed some of the staff's prescribing habits.

Very highly recommend!!

General Overview

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book based on a recommendation from a friend of mine. It was just ok. I have worked with mental health patients and psychotropics for many years (as a nurse). If I didn't have that background, I guess I would think more of this book. It is well written and easy to understand. It flows logically to this reader. The information is relevant and pertinent. However, I did not learn anything new. I think I was expecting information that was more specific. This book offers basic generalizations and recommends many other texts as a resource for greater details. As a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner student, I find this book acceptable, but not relevant to my individual needs. For someone who has little to no background knowledge on the subject matter, this is a brief overview.
