All psychotherapists practicing today, whether independently or in community settings, must be informed about psychopharmacology. This superb book covers how to talk to patients and their families about medication and collaborate with prescribers. The third edition is up to date and exceptionally well written, and covers the diagnostic ground from anxiety and depression to psychosis and cognitive disorders. I cannot think of a book that better achieves its purpose of educating non-MD mental health practitioners and graduate students to be as helpful as possible to their patients who are taking, or may need, psychoactive medication. --Stanley B. Messer, PhD, Distinguished Professor Emeritus and former Dean, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey A clear, understandable and helpful book for the nonphysician wishing to be more conversant within this field.

(on the first edition)-- Family Journal (10/1/2007 12:00:00 AM) The authors have written one of the best books available on psychopharmacology by providing detailed information in a user-friendly format for all mental health clinicians....Academics and practicing clinicians will, without a doubt, keep this book within reach for daily use. I will recommend this book to all of my colleagues....5 Stars!
