A disorder-by-disorder reference to psychopharmacology

Organized first by mental health condition and then by medication, this tenth edition presents foundational terminology and models alongside information on treatment options, interactions, side effects, contraindications, and efficacy. Its scope extends beyond medication summaries to differences in treatment across age groups and cultures. New material covers emerging medications, ethnopsychopharmacology, genomic testing, and psychopharmacology with older adults; the handbook also addresses medication discontinuation. Together, these topics make it a reference spanning both drug-specific information and broader considerations in clinical care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Therapists and other mental health clinicians seeking a psychopharmacology reference
  • Students learning foundational terminology, models, and medication information
  • Professionals interested in age- and culture-related considerations in treatment

Book overview

A comprehensive resource for mental health professionals--now in a fully revised and updated tenth edition.

The Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists is the gold standard for mental health clinicians looking for clear, reliable information about the pharmacological treatment of mental health conditions. Organized by disorder and, within each disorder, by medication, this book is designed to familiarize clinicians and students with the basic terminology and models of psychopharmacology.

This fully revised and updated tenth edition provides essential information on medications and treatment options, and includes the latest research on side effects, contraindications, and efficacy of all major medications prescribed for mental health disorders.

This handbook makes it simple to:

  • Get the facts about drug interactions and side effects
  • Find out how medications affect adults, children, and adolescents differently
  • Learn how different cultures view medical treatment--vital information for anyone treating clients from a variety of backgrounds
  • Discontinue medication safely when needed

The book also includes new material on novel and emerging medications, ethnopsychopharmacology, genomic testing, and psychopharmacology with older adults.

This comprehensive guide to psychopharmacology has been adopted as a textbook at universities nationwide and is an important resource for every therapist's library.
