Summary

In response to the rapid developments in psychopharmacology, this is a spin-off from Stephen Stahl's new, completely revised and updated edition of his much acclaimed Prescriber's Guide. This is a pragmatic, easy-to-use formulary for prescribing clinicians, covering the most important drugs in use today for depression. From a review of the first Prescriber's Guide: ' ¿ The clinical tips and pearls that are found in each entry are invaluable - not only are dosing guidelines provided, but also the author's educated and respected opinion regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of each drug. The book's major strength is its readability and user friendliness. The art of psychopharmacology is finally given the space it deserves. 0133 This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's library.¿ The Annals of Pharmacotherapy
