Reviews

The book is meant for all clinical practitioners in psychiatry, or those who often prescribe psychotropic medication. ... This book provides high-quality information and clinical insight. ... The strength of the book compared to other psychopharmacology texts is its comprehensiveness and discussion in a clinical context. (Chad R Percifield, Doody's Book Reviews, April 30, 2021)
