Product Description
Drawn from the best-selling second edition of Essential Psychopharmacology, Steve Stahl has revised and updated the chapters covering antipsychotics and mood stabilizers in this separate volume. This new book covers the many dimensions of psychosis, particularly as associated with schizophrenia, and examines the role of dopamine in psychosis along with the various theories about the causes, pathophysiology, and treatment of schizophrenia. New material includes discussion of a promising new agent, aripiprazole, the first in a new class of dopamine stabilizers; the use of anticonvulsant agents to treat manic psychosis as well as being used as adjuncts to more traditional antipsychotic treatments for psychosis and schizophrenia; and the newest atypical antipsychotic ziprasidone. CME self-assessment tests are included. |

After reading Essential Psychopharmacology of Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers  5 Stars
August 14, 2005
Almost all of us feel that the psychopharmacology is complex and difficult to understand.But this book solves the problems.Clearly figures help us understand psychopharmacology easily.
It's difficult for psychiatrist to treat the patients with refractory psychosis.
But if psychiatrist read this book,they will be able to get a big hint.Because clearly figures show the features of each drug.Figures also show the pharmacological actions of drugs. After reading this book psychiatrists will think ."How to use the drugs? The drug combination therapy might be more effective than monotherapy for refractory cases.How to combine antipsychotics and mood stabilizers?Lthium and antipsychotics? Valproate and antipsychotics?Let's confirm the features of these drugs in this book!"As above this book will inspire the psychiatrists! It will improve the treatment for refractory cases.I think that this book will provide the great benefits for psychiatrists,other mental health professionals and psychiatric patients.

Don't be fooled by the title!! by zoemitsu (Massachusetts)  1 Stars
October 23, 2004
As soon as I looked inside the book I saw that it is really about the treatment of schizophrenia. I was interested in updated information about the use of lithium and anticonvulsants , which are what one usually means by "mood stabilizers". There are 16 pages on these medications in the whole book. There is lots of information on the newer antipsychotics, which I expected and wanted too- but it was focused on the treatment of schizophrenia. So, don't be fooled by the title ( or the editorial reviews). I didn't read the book because I needed to keep it in pristine condition to return it.
