Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers by Stephen Stahl
Relying upon the best-selling third edition of Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, Dr Stephen M. Stahl has revised chapters covering antipsychotics and mood stabilizers for this edition. More than one-third longer than the previous edition it is essential reading for professionals treating psychosis and students learning the mechanisms of drug reactions. It includes advances in neurobiology and recent clinical developments to explain the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. The fully revised text is complemented by many new illustrations and enhanced to reflect new knowledge and topics covered in the previous edition. Intended as a primer text covering all aspects of treatment for psychosis and related conditions, this concise volume can nevertheless be read cover to cover by experts and novices alike.

'Stephen Stahl is one of the most recognizable names in psychopharmacologyHe is an inspiring teacher who has a knack for synthesizing complex scientific information for students, residents, psychiatrists, and nonmedical mental health practitioners. Over the past few years, he has started publishing psychopharmacology books that are not only very readable and up-to-date, but are in my opinion the most creatively illustrated texts of psychopharmacology. My trainees rave about his books and quote them often. … In addition to strongly recommending this volume for students, trainees, and new practitioners, I would like to add that the book contains quite a bit of nosology and disease-state material about schizophrenia, not just its psychopharmacology. There is a very useful section on glutamate pathways, which is the likeliest future target of antipsychotic drug development. The book also has a very good section on the partial dopamine agonist class of antipsychotic agents. There are many practical suggestions for optimizing therapeutic outcomes by customizing pharmacologic treatment, including the use of appropriate polypharmacy. … In summary, this volume is highly recommended for health professionals interested in the phenomenology, neurochemistry, and pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders.'
