Title: Essential Psychopharmacology : Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications by Stephen M. Stahl, Nancy Muntner ISBN: 0-521-64615-4 Publisher: Cambridge University Press Pub. Date: 15 June, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $70.00 |

Summary: Excellent but reader beware
Comment: People love this book because of it's pretty diagrams and the way it presents receptor mechanisms with clarity and certainty. This is very good for the beginner, but those who read primary sources will probably note at least two shortcomings. Firstly the effects of stimulating different receptors and the interactions between them are more complex and apparently contradictory than this book implies. Secondly the author does not comprehensively review clinical trials which again give results that are not as unequivocal as might be predicted from the models put forward. In summary this book is a great achievement but tends to downplay the uncertainties in the field.

Summary: Psychopharmacology written in concrete English
Comment: Stephen Stahl does a fine job of explaining the details of modern psychopharmacology. But he can do it in such a way as to not bore you six feet into the ground. Stahl goes into much detail in explaining all the many specifics concerning the many drugs used in psychiatry. He covers most of the combos and "augmenting" approaches that can be taken in modern psychopharmacology. Stahl also covers the neglected area within psychiatry known as "treatment resistant depression" or mood disorders which do not adequately respond to the usual Prozac.
Id recommend this book to anyone diagnosed with a severe mental illness and who wants to learn more about the medications they take. Id also recommend this book to non medical mental health professionals such as psychologists, social workers, counselors, etc. For most psychiatrists this book would probably be redundant (Id hope at least).
All of Stahls psychopharmacology books are good books BTW.

Summary: Great Book. . .Great Doctor!
Comment: I found the book to be very helpful and extremely informative. Dr. Stahl's writing style is concise and interesting.He doesn't try to blow us"non-med students" out of the water with big words. I attended University of California at San Diego where he does much of his research and I have had a chance to meet with him. He is not only a great author, but a kind, caring, creative and intelligent doctor(believe it or not, he also has a great sense of humor). I hope you all enjoy this book!
