Praise for The Therapist's Guide to Psychopharmacology, Revised Edition: Working with Patients, Families, and Physicians to Optimize Care

.

"The text has up-to-date information on medications and includes studies detailing the effectiveness of each medication. The book has an appendix containing detailed information on vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), including a helpful diagram of where the VNS electrodes and pacemaker generator are implanted in the body. There is a section in Chapter 9, 'Focusing the Lens,' which provides three examples of referral letters—the first to a family physician, the second to a psychiatrist, and the last to a psychiatric emergency screener. This section alone is worth purchasing the book. The therapist's guide to psychopharmacology is a must-have text for clinicians, and will help them provide the best standard of care to their patients and clients."
