Review
Reviews from the first edition: ‘… essential reading … I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who works with psychotropic drugs - or who has the task of teaching others about them!’ American Journal of Psychiatry

‘This book is a bedrock for basic understanding of the complex and fast moving field of psychopharmacology, and should be a part of every prescribing clinician’s library. It is highly recommended and will be useful in many contexts.’ Doody’s Publishing

‘… illustrations are highly effective in elucidating highly complex material. This book is a bedrock for basic understanding of the complex and fast moving field of psychopharmacology, and should be a part of every prescribing clinician’s library. It is highly recommended and will be useful in many contexts.’ Nishad J. Nadkarni, Doody’s Health Scienced Book Review Journal

‘Using his own extraordinary teaching style, together with the fine images we are accustomed to seeing from him, Professional Stahl, of California University, presents us with a second edition of his work. It is a great work, which should be very useful to psychiatrists, doctors in training and psychopharmacologists.’ Professor a. Seva, European Journal of Psychiatry

‘The clinically orientated chapters do an impressive job of bringing together the neuropathological basis and psychopharmacological approaches to psychiatric conditions. I would highly recommend this as an concise, entertaining and easily accessible source of information.’ Sophie Ilson, Addiction Biology

‘… the first edition was a finely crafted book with logically distinct sections on basic science, disease mechanisms, drug action, and drug classes. This second edition is now much improved again with copious colour illustrations and bang up to date scientific information about both aetiological theories and new products and their associated modes of action … a benchmark book for modern psychopharmacology teaching.’ Robert Kerwin, Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry

‘If there is one basic psychopharmacology text for a practitioner or teacher of psychiatric medicine to own, this is it … Cleverly illustrated with simple cartoons, this book presents complex information in an easily accessible manner … Essential Psychopharmacology is a first rate book. It is both a ready reference and an internally consistent teaching text … It will become an essential source for the information that informs the teaching and practice of psychiatric medicine over the next decade.’ Stan Kutcher, The Lancet

‘… an excellent basic textbook covering the key areas of psychopharmacology. its concise and structured approach made reading enjoyable … I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to all psychiatric trainees.’ R. Winterhaldes, Journal of Intellectual Disability Research

‘As an MRC psychiatry student I have benefited enormously from studying this book. Stahl has allowed me to see the light in what I previously found to be a very complex subject, it has made a fascinating and fulfilling read.’ Judy Whitely, International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry

‘Essential Psychopharmacology offers a wide range of readers an engaging and comprehensive view of psychopharmacology. it is highly recommended to both novice and experienced researchers, who stand to gain a new or renewed appreciation for the complexity and beauty of how the nervous system mediates the behavioural effects of drugs.’ Ruth E. Grahn, Contemporary Psychology

'… readers are treated to a clear and thorough overview of the complexities of managing psychiatric disorders and the otherwise bewildering array of somatic treatments. … The principal value of the book is that it provides a lucid framework for understanding pharmacotherapeutic approaches in treating mental disorders by proposing how brain circuits and their neurotransmitters can be linked to the amelioration of symptoms and includes new information on synapses, signaling, psychiatric genetics and a variety of disease models. The illustrations are superb and are excellent teaching tools. … The book is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications. This book belongs in every clinician's library and serves as a model of clarity for others.' Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica

'Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology now stands alone as the most recently updated and most comprehensive psychopharmacology textbook, written by a single author. His illustrations are extremely well-conceived, educational and informative. Dr Stahl is consistent in his approach to teaching and writing. I find his work to be extremely valuable to the practising clinician. He fosters an academic, research-based understanding of modern pharmacology and psychopharmacologic drug action. Medical students, psychiatry residents and fellows and experienced clinicians will find the style and content refreshing. … I recommend this text as an extremely useful reference work as we enter the next decade of discovery in brain neurosciences and its role in clinical psychiatry.' Psychological Medicine

Product Description
Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology has established itself as the preeminent source of education and information in its field. This much-expanded third edition relies on advances in neurobiology and recent clinical developments to explain the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. New neurotransmitter systems; theories on schizophrenia; clinical advances in antipsychotic and antidepressant therapy; coverage of attention deficit disorder and drug abuse; and new coverage of sleep disorders, chronic pain, and disorders of impulse control. The fully revised text is complemented with many new, instructive and entertaining illustrations, their captions may be used independent of the main text for a rapid introduction to the field or for review. This edition will be indispensable for students, scientists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, enabling them to master the complexities of psychopharmacology and to plan treatment approaches based on current knowledge.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Psychopharmacology, 25 Jul 2002 By  "tmchoudhry" - See all my reviews This review is from: Essential Psychopharmacology: Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications (Essential Psychopharmacology Series) (Paperback) This is an excellent book for the busy clinician. I have worked in psychiatry for 17 years and read many books on this subject. I found this excellently illustrated book an outstanding source of information to bring my prescription practice in line with recent developments. I recommend this book for all those inquisitive trainees of the MRCPsych Part II who want to correct their bases of psychopharmacology, place facts in perspective and learn what this subject is at the neuro-receptor level as well as for a busy clinician like myself who was unable to keep in touch with the recent advances in the subject due to the demanding nature of my job in Acute Psychiatry. This book is very easy to revise before any exam and to refresh ones knowledge within a few hours. The best book in psychopharmacology I have ever come accross throughout my career.I congratulate Professor Stahl for his ingenious effort to simplify this subject.I wish other authors would follow this example to simplify this vast subject. For consultants and trainees, this is a valuable gift. Comment Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No (Report this)   11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A basic book to anyone who studies psychopharmacology, 14 Feb 2001 By A Customer This review is from: Essential Psychopharmacology: Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications (Essential Psychopharmacology Series) (Paperback) This book is a "must have" in the library of anyone who studies psychopharmacology. It contains a broad spectrum of subjects in the field in a very simple language and at the same time brings up-to-date information. I found it very useful to prepare lectures for both advanced and beginner students and also as a quick-reference book to myself. The graphics are very simple, but appealing and easy to understand. I suppose the CD-ROM is very resourceful, althought I had no chance of getting through it (our library did not buy it). The first four chapters bring the basic information in a clear way and the following chapters fill these information with very objective clinical psychopharmacology. It is good for the laboratory and it is good for the clinic. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Marshall "text collector" (Eastbourne, E.Sussex) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This was our basic text for a psychopharmacology course, in preparation for becoming a nurse prescriber. It certainly covers the most common problems, theories on causes and different medication options, including first line, second line and the if all else fails try this! It has to be remembered that despite the depth and breadthof this book, some of the material is still hypothesis and NOT fact! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
