First published in 1998. The purpose of this book is to provide
prescribing psychologists and psychology students with an accurate
and authoritative reference for psychotropic drugs that are
commonly available for clinical prescription in North America. The
reference is particularly directed for use by psychologists and
psychology students who already have, or are currently developing,
their professional expertise and responsibilities in the
prescription and management of psychotropic pharmacotherapy as an
adjunct to their psychotherapy. The Reference lists detailed drug
monographs for over 100 different prescription psychotropic drugs
available in North America. Thus, this reference is the most
comprehensive psychotropic drug reference for clinical
psychologists currently available. Each psychotropic monograph is
clearly and concisely written to only reflect essential and
important data that are commonly required by prescribing
psychologists. Whenever available and appropriate, each monograph
includes phonetic pronunciation, up to five common trade or brand
names, pharmacologic or therapeutic classification and
subclassification, United States Drug Enforcement Agency (USDEA)
schedule designation for abuse potential, recommended dosages for
adults, children and the elderly, helpful and important notes
regarding methods of administration, relative contraindications,
clinically significant drug interactions and more. It is hoped that
by using the information presented in is book prescribing
psychologists and psychology students will be better able to
provide their patients with the maximum benefits of adjunctive
pharmacotherapy with a minimum of adverse and toxic effects.
