Practical Psychopharmacology takes the novel approach of writing at three different
levels—beginning, intermediate, and advanced—to give the practicing
psychopharmacologist a tailored experience. Each chapter focuses on a specifi c
DSM-5 disorder and outlines abbreviated treatment guidelines to help the reader
understand where their knowledge base and clinical practice currently resides.
At the fi rst level, the book teaches novice prescribers practical diagnostic skills
and provides a brief overview of pertinent genetic and neuroimaging fi ndings
to increase prescribing confi dence. Next, it provides mid-level clinicians with
intermediate techniques and guidelines for more diffi cult cases. Th e fi nal level
provides nuanced guidance for advanced practitioners or those who see the most
treatment-resistant patients. Th is approach allows a clinician to access this book
periodically throughout the care of an individual patient and to gradually progress
through a series of more advanced psychopharmacological techniques for making
accurate and effi cient diagnoses. Readers can also visit the book’s eResource
page to download a bonus chapter on eating disorders, as well as case studies and
multiple-choice questions for each chapter.
