Recognizing that counselors are often the primary source of
therapeutic care, A Counselor's Guide to Psychopharmacology and
Alternative Treatments provides readers with an overview of the
fundamentals of psychopharmacology so they can help facilitate
medication-based treatment plans and more fully meet their clients'
needs. The text bridges the gap between the content-knowledge of
psychopharmacology and the intentional incorporation of
medication-based interventions into a larger, counseling-driven
therapeutic process The book is organized into three parts, which
explore the basics of psychopharmacology, medications, and
additional considerations. Opening chapters discuss models of
treatment, pharmacotherapy in mental health, the role of the
counselor, and foundational information on neurobiology and
pharmacology. Additional chapters discuss antidepressant,
antianxiety, and antipsychotic medication, mood stabilizers, and
the interplay of substance abuse and medication-assisted treatment.
Closing chapters provide readers with alternatives to
pharmacotherapy, including electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial
magnetic stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, and emerging
alternatives, such as herbal supplements and hallucinogens.
Medication noncompliance, malingering, and diagnostic
considerations are also covered In addition to critical content,
the text features application-based exercises designed to help
readers hone skills related to the analysis of complex cases, as
well as the navigation of client interactions in a deliberate,
empowering, and holistic manner A Counselor's Guide to
Psychopharmacology and Alternative Treatments is a critical
resource for future and practicing counselors at all levels.
