Sean O'Domhnaill said Oh, the joys of a readable book on Psychopharmacology in the young!. Those of us who love the art and science of psychopharmacology are always on the look-out for the gems which will achieve a place in our libraries. This book, a must-have for any psychiatrist who works with both adults and children is laid out in a most readable and sensible manner. From pharmacokinetics to pharmacodynamics and clinical pearls, it leaves nothing to chance in providing all that one needs to practice saf. Typographic problems. Barely adequate coverage of the basics. Concisely covers the basics but doesn't provide much detail. Useful for a psychiatry rotation but probably not as a prescriber's reference. The Kindle version has some typographical problems. Figure 6F is missing and Figure 6E is repeated in its place. Hope this can be fixed as 6F has some important information.. Too basic for child psychiatry professionals If you're expecting to read something new, this isn't the book to read. I was hoping to get some good pharmacology information regarding interactions or at least receptor preferences, but this is a very basic review that most child psychiatrists would consider extremely basic. If you're not a child psychiatrist, this might be a great book for you. My colleagues however should opt for the McVoy and Findling text publish
Child and Adolescent PsychopharmacologyMade Simple is an outstanding contribution for the non-pharmacist health professional. The chapters are clear, practical, concise, and authored by pharmacists, physicians, and behavioral health experts with current knowledge and valuable insights for health professionals working in medical, dental, and behavioral health settings.” William Gordon, PhD, president of the Institute for Brain Potential
