Practical Psychopharmacology takes the novel approach of writing at
three different levels-beginning, intermediate, and advanced-to
give the practicing psychopharmacologist a tailored experience.
Each chapter focuses on a specific DSM-5 disorder and outlines
abbreviated treatment guidelines to help the reader understand
where their knowledge base and clinical practice currently resides.
At the first level, the book teaches novice prescribers practical
diagnostic skills and provides a brief overview of pertinent
genetic and neuroimaging findings to increase prescribing
confidence. Next, it provides mid-level clinicians with
intermediate techniques and guidelines for more difficult cases.
The final level provides nuanced guidance for advanced
practitioners or those who see the most treatment-resistant
patients. This approach allows a clinician to access this book
periodically throughout the care of an individual patient and to
gradually progress through a series of more advanced
psychopharmacological techniques for making accurate and efficient
diagnoses. Readers can also visit the book's eResource page to
download a bonus chapter on eating disorders as well as case
studies and multiple-choice questions for each chapter.

Since the mid-1990s, a revolution in regards to prescribing
antipsychotics has taken place. Once utilized only for
schizophrenia, the newer, second generation antipsychotics have now
been approved for the treatment of bipolar disorders, depressive
disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. They are often utilised
elsewhere for the treatment of anxiety disorders, sleep disorders,
and to calm agitated patients when dangerous behaviours occur.
Prescription rates have soared making them some of the most
advertised, prescribed and profitable drugs on the market. This
book was developed with input of international authors of varying
backgrounds to review the history and development of these agents
and to focus on the utilization of these drugs in various
disorders, age groups, and clinical situations.
