Once again, in their new edition of a classic American handbook of
clinical psycho pharmacology, Drs. Gelenberg and Bassuk and their
colleagues have produced a master work of sound clinical guidelines
for the use of medicines as an increasingly central component of
contemporary psychiatric practice. They have recruited an
outstanding panel of coauthors, but have managed to maintain a high
level of consistency of quality and style throughout the many
chapters on specific classes of psychiatric illnesses and their
corresponding treatments. The book continues to encapsulate the
clinically rele vant essentials of the pharmacology of each major
class of psychotropic agents in a way that clinicians can easily
grasp. Moreover, it provides sound and carefully consid ered
specific guidelines to diagnosis, drug selection, and dosing and
patient assessment, with particularly rich presentations on the
recognition and management of adverse effects. Inclusion of
chapters on pediatric and geriatric populations and on topics
pertaining to substance abuse disorders and medicolegal aspects of
the field are unusual in books of this kind, and so are
particularly valuable. Students and trainees will appreciate the
handbook's well-organized and readable style, and practicing
clinicans should be satisified with its balanced consideration of
older, standard treatments as well as the latest medicines and
trends in clinical psychopharmacology, with glimpses into future
developments.
