Review\n“As a pharmacologist who has taught for more than forty years, this text fills an important void by presenting a well-balanced presentation of psychopharmacology, including the basic principles of pharmacology. John Preston’s book will be an excellent reference for the researcher and clinician, and a solid desk reference for anyone in the field of psychopharmacology and mental health.” 
—Randall Tackett, PhD, professor in the department of clinical and administrative pharmacy, and director of the clinical trials certificate program in regulatory affairs at Fairleigh Dickinson University and Alliant University\n“The new edition of Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists provides even more information than previous versions that I have required for my graduate students. The writing and format make it accessible for professionals without formal training in psychopharmacology. A mental health professional will be using it constantly, as it includes the essentials of psychiatric diagnosis and assessment, in addition to up-to-date information on psychiatric medications, and various issues related to their use.” 
—Richard Tedeschi, PhD, professor emeritus in the department of psychological science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte\n“Therapists will find this wonderful book helpful in two ways—as both a textbook and a reference book. Read as a textbook, they will learn essentially all they need to know about why patients are taking the meds they are taking, and what the likely next steps in treatment will be. As a reference book, therapists can look up a patient’s medication or diagnosis and quickly review dosing, side effects, and rationale for use. As a seasoned psychopharmacologist, I found the information accurate, useful, and presented with a refreshing clarity. It’s rare to find a book with so much information that is also a pleasure to read. I recommend it highly to any mental health clinician, whether they are a therapist, a prescriber, or both.” 
—Daniel Carlat, MD, editor in chief of The Carlat Psychiatry Report\n“I’m a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist with no medical training, and I found Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists to be a compelling and stimulating read, as well as a welcome addition to my reference shelf. This text is coherent and user-friendly, and reading it is a surprisingly pleasurable way to expand your knowledge in an area of clinical treatment usually not made this accessible to nonmedical professionals.” 
—Susan Flynn, PhD\n“I recommend Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists to psychotherapists from various clinical trainings and diverse clinical orientations, as well as to nonpsychiatric physicians and their prescribing assistants. One of the most valuable elements of this text is the authors’ reminder to consider when and how medication can be appropriate to treatment, and how the clinician is an essential part of the psycho-medical treatment team.\nIf you have only one reference book on your shelf addressing the interface between clinical treatment and psychopharmacology, this should be it.” 
—Marvin B. Berman, PhD\n“Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists is a modern masterpiece written by a multidisciplinary team of distinguished practitioners. It is one of the most clearly written, reader-friendly yet comprehensive books on the subject of psychiatric diagnosis and psychotropic drug therapy. The book is packed full of useful tables, figures, and illustrations that amplify the main text, or can be used independently for a rapid introduction to the field or for reviewing the fundamentals. Covering both the spectrums of pathophysiology and the neurobiology of drug action, this slim and state-of-the-art-and-science text is truly a handbook worthy of the name, and should be an essential resource for mental health professionals and students alike.” 
—Clifford N. Lazarus, PhD, licensed psychologist; director of Comprehe
