Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology has established itself as the preeminent source of education and information in its field. This much-expanded third edition relies on advances in neurobiology and recent clinical developments to explain the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. In addition to redrawn art, an improved and more readable layout, and 30% more illustrations, the Third Edition has four all-new chapters on Psychiatric Genetics, Chronic Pain and Functional Somatic Syndromes, Disorders of Sleep, and Disorders of Cognition. Covered within are new neurotransmitter systems; theories on schizophrenia; clinical advances in antipsychotic and antidepressant therapy; coverage of attention deficit disorder and drug abuse; and new coverage of sleep disorders, chronic pain, and disorders of impulse control. This volume is indispensable for all students and professionals in mental health, enabling them to master the complexities of psychopharmacology. Book Description: This expanded and fully revised edition explains and illustrates the neurobiological concepts underlying the drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. For the student it provides an easily readable and highly illustrated introduction to the subject. For the physician or scientist it offers a quick review of psychopharmacology and the drug treatment of mental illness. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Útil pero cuestionableÚtil: La cantidad de información resumida, sistematizada y esquematizada, de fácil y amena lectura. Cuestionable: Para empezar, no tanto el grado de simplificación, como el grado de parcialización, fragmentación y reducción de los contenidos referentes al funcionamiento normal y anormal del Sistema Nervioso Central, con un sesgo explícito hacia aquellos aspectos que ayudarían a entender mejor el supuesto funcionamiento de los psicofármacos, y con un sesgo implícito hacia la ...

Stahl's bood would have been better titled "The PDR Companion for Psychiatrists." Listing each medicaiton in alphabetical order is a good idea but only as far as it goes, which is not very far. The MAUDSLEY PRESCRIBING GUIDELIENS give more guidance about chosing and using medications. The MPG covers alot of material and is easy to read. The sections I use most include a table about timimg the cross ... Read More Rating:  - The one book that needs to be in your libraryDr. Stahl and Nancy Munter have outdone themselves once again. While the bar they have set is always high, this is the best book they have produced to date. Details are rich and easily understood - they even include tyramine content by brand. Everyone involved in treating patients needs to have this book in their library AND read it. Rating: - Great book!This new edition of Stahl's easy and delicious "Essential" surprises me. Some people who doen't like this book argues that the book is too superficial in some issues. I desagreee. The very title of the book already shows their propose. It's a book about ESSENTIAL psychopharmacology, make it easy and beaultiful. Thanks, Stahl, for bring us, again, with this piece of joy. Wilson Conte de Las Villas Rodrigues Psychiatric Enfermary Assis Regional Hospital São Paulo, Brasil. Rating:  - Dangerous text.Psychopharmocology easy to do badly and very difficult to do well. As a second year psychiatry resident in 1999 I thought this book was awesome - psych meds made easy, with neat pictures, and cool names like "California Rocket Fuel." Now that I practice general psychiatry in the community I realize that this book is misleading and potentially dangerous. One, it oversimplifies the neurobiology of psychotropics - although that is not all that serious a problem. More importantly, it encourages approaching ... Read More
