1. Psychosis and schizophrenia; 2. Antipsychotic agents.
In response to the rapid developments in psychopharmacology, this is a spin-off from Stephen Stahl's new completely revised and updated edition of his much acclaimed Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology
Stephen M. Stahl is Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego. He has conducted numerous research projects awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Veterans Administration, and the pharmaceutical industry. Author of more than 200 articles and chapters, Dr Stahl is an internationally recognized clinician, researcher, and teacher in psychiatry with subspecialty expertise in psychopharmacology.
'Stephen Stahl is one of the most recognizable names in psychopharmacology. He is an inspiring teacher who has a knack for synthesizing complex scientific information for students, residents, psychiatrists, and nonmedical mental health practitioners. Over the past few years, he has started publishing psychopharmacology books that are not only very readable and up-to-date, but are in my opinion the most creatively illustrated texts of psychopharmacology. My trainees rave about his books and quote them often. … In addition to strongly recommending this volume for students, trainees, and new practitioners, I would like to add that the book contains quite a bit of nosology and disease-state material about schizophrenia, not just its psychopharmacology. There is a very useful section on glutamate pathways, which is the likeliest future target of antipsychotic drug development. The book also has a very good section on the partial dopamine agonist class of antipsychotic agents. There are many practical suggestions for optimizing therapeutic outcomes by customizing pharmacologic treatment, including the use of appropriate polypharmacy. … In summary, this volume is highly recommended for health professionals interested in the phenomenology, neurochemistry, and pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders.'
