Description
The fifth edition of Dr. Stahl’s important textbook on psychopharmacology, which has long been recognized as the leading resource in its field, is finally available. The book is the most readable source of information on disease and drug mechanisms for all students and mental health professionals seeking to understand and utilize current therapeutics and to foresee the future for novel medications due to its use of icons and figures that form Dr. Stahl’s distinctive “visual language.” Every section of the book has been revised and updated with Dr. Stahl’s trademark clarity of explanation. Over 500 new or updated figures, an easy-to-read color scheme, fourteen new drug uses for older ones, 18 brand-new drugs, coverage of Parkinson’s Disease Psychosis, and behavioral signs are all part of the new version.
