The book's major strength is its readability and user friendliness. The art of psychopharmacology is finally given the space it deserves. ...This guidebook is an excellent source of information for the art of prescribing psychotropic medications and belongs in every clinician's library.'

OMG, I love this book, though I'm just not a 5 star kinda person. It helps me get the essential info with clear and basically pleasing/non obtrusive design -- sort of Dummies guide with color. I am particularly pleased that he includes tapering schedules in weaning off meds and what to expect. Seems like a good book for boards, too. He is sort of wordy but it's forgivable because it's very useful and thorough info that we need to know, managing patients on these meds.

Viva Stephen Stahl!

I use this book frequently, and think it invaluable for those of us who do general medicine--very easy to find vital information such as titration and tapering of meds, great "pearls". Down and dirty, non-esoteric, great for every day use.
