Use of psychotropic drugs has come to dominate clinical practice in
psychiatry worldwide-perhaps owing largely to perceived simplicity,
ease of use, and apparent efficiency, as well as apparent
cost-effectiveness of such treatments. Nevertheless, medicinal
treatments for patients with psychiatric disorders are but one
component of comprehensive clinical care of complex human problems.
Extensively updated since its second edition in 1985, Chemotherapy
in Psychiatry, Third Edition, again addresses basic aspects of
modern psychopharmacology and clinical applications of drugs used
in the treatment of major psychiatric disorders, with major
emphasis on psychotic, bipolar, and depressive disorders. The
presentation covers descriptions of the main classes of
psychotropic drugs, selected information concerning their known
action mechanisms and metabolic disposition, and their clinical
applications for acute illnesses and to prevent recurrences and
long-term morbidity. Also covered are limitations and adverse
effects of each type of agent, with emphasis on the fact that all
psychotropic medicines have adverse effects that range from
annoying to potentially lethal. Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third
Edition, outlines the need to balance benefits and risks at the
level of individual persons. Authoritative, and an important
contribution to the literature, Chemotherapy in Psychiatry, Third
Edition is an invaluable resource for physicians, scientists,
trainees, and policymakers.
