A guide to treating psychosis that provides information on drug options and side-effects in order to allow for weighing treatment options knowledgably

The Maudsley Guidelines on Advanced Prescribing in Psychosis offers a resource that puts the focus on the need to treat the individual needs of a patient. The authors – noted experts on the topic – offer an alternative to the one-size-fits-all treatment of psychosis and shows how to build psychiatrist and patient relationships that will lead to effective individual treatment plans.

The book provides up-to-date data and information about commonly used anti-psychotic drugs and drugs used in bipolar disorder.
