Summary

The emergence and rapid growth of pharmacotherapy in professional psychology practice has the potential for a significantly broad audience. This much-needed resource provides a succinct, but comprehensive overview of the ten key content areas that comprise the medical psychology curriculum. In addition, the book provides an introduction to the Psychopharmacology Examination for Psychologists (PEP Exam). The simulation PEP-like practice test, on the companion CD-ROM, allows students to gain confidence by developing mastery over exam-specific challenges and helps reduce anxiety by exposing students to real-life simulations.
