Very Fun by Eagles Fan (New Jersey)  4 Stars
September 19, 2009
I have bought this book from Amazon.com. The book was neatly packaged and was shipped fast. The book itself is pretty cool. Easy to understand (even though it is a tough subject) and has very comical useful diagrams.

The book is better than ever, essential for anyone who likes psychopharmacology. Didatic,updated and very useful. Congratulations. But why don't divide it in two or three volumes... It will be better to carry.

Lucid and readable with very helpful color diagrams by James D. Bradford (Atlanta, GA USA) 5 Stars
December 20, 2008
I am a Masters Degree student in counseling and was introduced to Stahl's writings in a Counseling and Physiology course taught by an M.D. This book provides color diagrams with very lucid descriptions and explanations of how various chemical substances impact brain functioning. I bought the second edition because of the price difference but for my application this edition is more than sufficient. I wanted to understand the action of drugs (licit and illicit) at the level of neurotransmission in the brain. I also wanted to better understand the physiological aspects of phychological disorders such as bipolar. There is an entire chapter dedicated to depression and bipolar disorders.
While I do not subscribe to the "disease" model prevelant in biological psychiatry today I wanted to gain a better understanding of the alleged "chemical imbalance" often mentioned by people suffering from psychological disorders or by others who want to label a reason for the symptons they observe in loved ones. Having said that, there is no question that we are composed of cells and neurons that participate in neurochemical interactions that affect what goes on in our brain which in turn produces certain bodily and pshychological outcomes. This book provides answers to the questions of how all of that works as well as how medications work in treating symptoms of psychological disorders and addictions to substances.

Excellent, informative, and utterly lacking in a few places by Anna M. Vamvakias (Spokane, WA) 4 Stars
October 24, 2008
Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology is an excellent,informative tome on current medications.
That being said, the book utterly lacks any information on the differences in responses to these drugs along ethnic diversity lines, or gender differences, or interactions with commonly used herbs or supplements.
The topic of diversity and supplement usage is extremely relevant in today's world and knowledge of the these subjects will only increase our clients' comfort.
