5.0 out of 5 stars A bible for student nurses, 4 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Recommended to me by a psychiatric nurse this book is a must for all student nurses following the mental health programme. Easy to follow, the book is divided into chapters explaining the management and treatment of various psychiatic illnesses and the drugs used to treat them. The latter part of the book explains 'consent, liability and ethics. A convenient size, this is a valuable reference tool for anyone throughout their nursing career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything the BNF DIDN't tell you., 15 Jul 2005
This book is a must have for all practitioners including student nurses. It is easy to read, informative and does exactly what it says on the cover. Psychiatric Drugs Explained clearly, definitively and methodically takes you through each drug catergory leaving the reader with the information they need. One of the few books you'll read, recommend and buy the next edition of. I recommend this book for all student mental health nurses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, 9 Mar 2004
Now in its third edition, this is an indispensable book for mental health professionals. It is very clearly laid out for easy reference with a comprehensive index and references for further reading if needed. The "User Issues" text boxes are a great innovation in this edition and will be of great use to any mental health professional, but in particular those organising psychoeducation or medication information groups. The book seems to be purposefully designed for quick reference, the first page of each chapter even has its own contents list with page numbers for issues covered in that chapter. If you only ever get one psychopharmacology text, this is it!
