Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still The Most Concise Review
I have used this text from its very first edition. Its slim format makes it easy to carry and handle, yet it is very comprehensive given its size. There are times when Epocrates is not enough and Schatzberg and Nemeroff's volume is too much. The concise tables of dose equivalents are particularly useful.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book!
I've read all editions of this book and I'm really impressed. Rosenbaum, et. al. are masters of the art of psychopharmacology. This book covers almost all areas relevant to practicing psychiatrists.

This is an excellent book, but the information is about 3-4 years old (Probably 4-5 years if you consider the time to publishing)! That is pretty dated information for this field, especially with the MANY newer agents. Make a new edition guys!

The tables give you an easy way to compare each medication caracteristics and the book offers the facts that will help us choose the best drug that fits our patients needs. Its format let us ...
