Clinical Manual of Psychopharmacology in the Medically Ill by James L Levenson Md

Thoroughly updated to include coverage of newly released medical and psychiatric drugs and relevant research conducted in the interval since the first edition, this new edition retains the structure and features that made the first edition so successful.

This is a particularly useful tool for those in medical trainingIt is well organized by topic, with clear explanations and uncomplicated language. It also provides sufficient background information for each topic, starting with very basic concepts, making it ideal for those at the beginning of residency training. The charts and diagrams throughout the book are probably the strongest features. I tend to prefer online resources for day-to-day practice, given the ability to easily access them and the (possibly false) belief that they are more relevant or up to date than print resources. However, I will keep this book out, as its appendixes and tables are superior to what I have found in commonly used online sites. Also, the relevance to pharmacokinetic interactions and quick comparison to other medications would both require a more time-intensive search online to get a similar depth of information. I would highly recommend this book to anyone treating patients with psychiatric and medical comorbidities.
