Almost every drug has had some changes to take into account new regulations and uses, Dr Stahl has updated every drug amending where necessary. Review from the first Prescriber's Guide '... The clinical tips and pearls that are found in each entry are invaluable - not only are dosing guidelines provided, but also the author's educated and respected opinion regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of each drug.

This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's library.' The Annals of Pharmacotherapy
Customer Reviews: Essential Psychopharmacology: the Prescriber's Guide Great book! I went to a training by the author on polypharmacy in the treatment of individuals with mental illnesses. I then bought his general "Essential Psychopharmacology" book that was fairly complex, but the cartoons made the information fairly understandable for a non medical person like myself. The "Prescriber's Guide" is much more understandable and very useful in it's discussion of augmentation medications and ways to combat side-effects. It's presentations of how various medications work is very clear and gives one a good understanding about why one would use one medication verses another given how the illness presents in a person. If I were a general practitioner and certainly a psychiatrist, I would want to own this book.
THE BEST This is the most practical, well organized and visually well designed handbook of its type I've ever seen
Essential Psychopharmacology: The Prescriber's Guide This text is detailed, easy to use, and provides valuable information for the practicing psychiatrist. It provides information for both FDA approved uses of medications as well as for common "off label " uses. I have found the text to be helpful in my day to day clinical practice in both adult and child/adolescent psychiatry.
Great NP Resource!! I love this work. A great working companion to Dr Stahl's Essentials of Psychopharmacology. I love the index listing meds according to their uses. Simple and easy to use with great dosing tips and clinical pearls. Every prescribing Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner should have one and use it frequently. Especially considering the limited and out-moded formularies many of us have to make the best of.
an essential guide to prescribe in psychiatry this book we can define an essential guide to prescribe neuropsycomedicine in which you can find out a lot of advices how to use, not only a certain medicine in monoterapy, but in multitherapy as well. Further more, the best aspect of this book is the possibility to look up what you are searching for very fast. I am a psychiatrist, and what I look for is to get a guide rich in complete informations quick to find.
