Books, like people, are born, and, if they survive the trauma of
birth, mature in response to a changing environment. This volume is
no exception. It imme diately proved its usefulness to psychiatric
clinicians upon its publication six years ago, and it is not
surprising to find it now entering a new phase of life in a second
edition. The many and significant changes that the reader will find
herein reflect not only the rapid growth of knowledge in the field
of psy chopharmacology but also the editors' wise awareness of the
need to incorpo rate that knowledge into clinical practice.
Important new sections have been added on the management of elderly
patients, on the pharmacological approach to those with temporal
lobe epilepsy, and on the use of psychoactive medications during
pregnancy. The existing clinical sections have been expanded, and
the format has been altered to make the volume more practi cally
useful for the harried clinician. Most important of all, the
discussions of individual drugs have been carefully revised to
update information about those medications that have stood the test
of time and to include those newer pharmacological agents that have
appeared on the clinical scene since the publication of the first
edition. This last task has been significantly aided by the
addition of Dr. Alan J. Gelenberg to the family of editors; his
clinical and scientific knowledge nicely complements that of Drs.
Bassuk and Schoonover, and its influence is evident throughout."
