Each chapter is detailed, essentially covering everything you would need to know about specific medications in each class, their intended use, contraindications and metabolic actions. These medication-specific chapters are up-to-date and as inclusive as any I have read in similar books....a valuable resource you should have in your reference library.

Change in psychopharmacology is accelerating requiring updated editions which actually often represent complete re-vampings of information. This third edition discusses these new medications how they work, how they differ from older medications, and their pros and cons. It's been completely revised and is a 'must' for any library catering to non-medical therapists and clients who wish to understand the latest drug options.

As a non-prescriber psychologist working closely with non-psychiatric prescribers, I find this an excellent resource. Once in a while I would like more detail, but this book is always at my fingertips.
