Schatzberg’s Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology, 10e

As comprehensive and accessible now, in its tenth edition, as it was when it was first published in 1986, Schatzberg’s Manual of Clinical Psychopharmacology remains a seminal guide to a wide range of evolving medications and treatments. Bolstering evidence-based information with practical, real-world experience, this manual is rich in detail regarding the efficacy, dosing, and side effects of drug classes such as antidepressants, antipsychotic medications, mood stabilizers, and stimulants.

The manual features updated information on newly FDA-approved agents and those in late-stage review, as well as a new chapter on pharmacogenomic testing and other commercially available tests designed to help clinicians select appropriate medications for their patients. Readers will also find guidance on working in specific settings and treating special patient populations, with quick-reference summary tables on psychotropic classes throughout that allow for swift access to essential information.

Unrivaled in breadth, this volume remains a trusted, indispensable resource for clinicians seeking information on the latest advancements in psychopharmacology.
