This unique, easy-to-read title offers a concise, practical guide
to psychopharmacology and psychopharmacotherapy. Designed for a
wide range of practitioners and trainees in general and mental
healthcare, this invaluable primer provides foundational
information for those who wish to cultivate a deeper understanding
of the often-mysterious psychopharmacology medication family.
Unlike other books on this topic, the primer positions
psychopharmacology within the larger context of psychiatric and
psychological treatment and also discusses the variety of
therapeutic and somatic techniques available to providers and their
patients. Further, since many patients with psychiatric conditions
unfortunately find themselves interacting with the justice system,
the author offers useful considerations related to the intersection
of mental health and the law. The primer consists of 13 chapters
and is organized in four parts: Part 1 covers essentials of
pharmacology and psychopharmacology, outlining the basic principles
of pharmacology, psychopharmacology, and psychopharmacotherapy.
Part 2 addresses therapies that may involve psychopharmacology/
psychopharmacotherapy, providing a succinct overview of selected
and representative types of psychotherapy and counseling in
contemporary psychiatry and psychology. Part 3 discusses forensic
and legal applications of psychopharmacology/
psychopharmacotherapy, drawing on the author's long experience in
various aspects of forensic psychiatry. Part 4 consists of one
final chapter, titled "Synthesis and Conclusions." This chapter
pulls together the most salient points of the book to assist the
reader in the practical psychopharmacotherapeutic treatment of
patients/clients. A timely and invaluable contribution to the
literature, Psychopharmacology for Non-Psychiatrists: A Primer will
be of great benefit as a user-friendly resource for professionals
or as an exam-preparation book for medical students and trainees in
a wide range of mental health fields. Specifically, the primer will
be of great interest to primary care physicians, nurse
practitioners, physician assistants, counselors, therapists,
non-psychiatric physicians and dentists whose practices involve
psychopharmacotherapy, naturopaths, homeopaths, physical
therapists, occupational therapists, and speech/language
therapists. Legal professionals and others who are not themselves
healthcare professionals, but who interact with healthcare
professionals, also will find the primer a handy resource.
