Summary

• "This fully revised and expanded Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, Third Edition, enlists advances in neurobiology and recent clinical developments to explain with renewed clarity the concepts underlying drug treatment of psychiatric disorders. Clinical advances in antipsychotic and antidepressant therapy are discussed in detail; new, expanded material includes coverage of sleep disorders, obesity, addiction, chronic pain, and disorders of impulse control. The text also features four new chapters on psychiatric genetics, pain management, treatment of cognitive disorders, and treatment of sleep disorders.
• The text is also visually enhanced by art that has been increased by 100% and completely redrawn and a layout that has been completely redesigned for increased user friendliness. CME is also offered through questions available on the website of the Neuroscience Education Institute at NElglobal.com. Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, Third Edition, remains the essential text for students, scientists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals."--Jacket.
