An easy to read/understand, and straight to the point description of medications used in the treatment of individuals with mental illness; a brief text with the essentials of practical psychopharmacology. Perfect for non-prescribing health and mental health students or professionals, I use it as an adjunct text for teaching graduate mental health students. The authors keep new editions coming, with any updates worth announcing.
I'm doing a psychiatry elective rotation towards getting my MD right now.Like most psychiatry offices today, the focus is a lot on prescribing the right meds.I brought this book into work the day after I received it in the mail and showed it to the PA's, MDs', nurse practitioners, psychologists etc, and they were all in love with it instantly (as was I).No other guide sums up the important need-to-knows and essential bullet points for meds like this book. Not only that, but at a price that even a starving student can afford.Also it is cutting edge and extremely up to date with the newest information (we saw one particular antidepressant in the book that we didn't recognize and the next day a pharm rep came buy to to announce the exact same new drug was becoming available!).Needless to say, all the clinicians in my practice went ahead and bought copies of the book for themselves and it has definitely changed some of the staff's prescribing habits.Very highly recommend!!
It takes each disorder and lets you know what medication to use,and potential side effects to each of the medication.
This book simplifies difficult subject matter for my daughter in nursing school. I have bought at least one for every subject she has taken.
I'm in PA school wanting to go into psychiatry. I have used the other "Made Ridiculously Simple" books before so I figured I'd give this one a try. This was VERY helpful (much more so than the "Behavioral Medicine Made Ridiculously Simple") book. It explained the psychiatric disorders and provided explanations of treatments. There was a lot of nice charts for the medications. Everything was straightforward and simple to follow. This is a great resource for any health professional student!
Clear concise and easy to reference, John Preston's expertisement is invaluable. I keep a copy in my office so I can access information about a patients medication and better understand their reactions to it.
This is an excellent book if you need an orientation to psychopharmacology! Lots of table layouts for quit review. Straightforward and well organized!
An interesting alternative to the inevitable Stephen Stahl.it simplifies a complicated matter, which can do wonders when mastering.Thanks to the author.
