Product Reviews:

the help you need to improve your neuropsychopharcology knoledge
I almost finished to read this guide. I am practising doctor in psychiatry and I am already using the guidelines so having reached several goals in the patients care. But it is also worth noting that you have to know the exact mechanism by wich each drug works before correctly use this book, that's why you need to study something else before "the maudsley prescribing guidelines" such as "stahl - essential psychopharmacology" by wich you can really understand the exact mechanism I have mentioned you about above.

The Definitive Guide to Psychiatric Medication ( andrew_nielsen )
This is the best book for detailed, practible guidance on prescription of psychiatric drugs. It is not introductory book but nothing in it is irrelevent. It is more about chosing a drug and monitoring its use than information about a particular drug. The book synthesises conclusions from research and yet has relevent lists of referneces.

The text is beautifully well written. Somehow, the authors make the book dense with accessible information and written with a warm tone.

Compared to what, then, you ask? Stahl's books are dull and fluffy by comparison, even though they are in colour. Stahl's books tell you about the drugs but the Maudsley Guidelines summarise information about what drug to use and how. For example, it summarises the information from the Star D trial.

Sadock and Sadock full of stuff that-had-to-be-put-in-because-it-had-to-be-put-in. Oxford handbook of psychiatry has too little drug information. Australian Therapeutic guidelines is an introductory book only.

I give this book six stars.
