Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists Summary

Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists by M Muse

The emergence and rapid growth of pharmacotherapy in professional psychology practice has the potential for a significantly broad audience. Written by psychologists for psychologists, this unique resource spells out the essential psychobiosocial areas of emphasis involved in prescribing psychotropics within a clinical psychology practice. In addition, the book provides an introduction to the qualifying exam for psychologists seeking specialty training in psychopharmacology: The Psychopharmacology Examination for Psychologists (PEP). The simulating PEP-like practice test, available on the companion CD-ROM, allows psychologists-in-training to gain confidence by developing mastery over the exam-specific challenges while helping to reduce anxiety by exposing students to real-like simulations.

Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists Reviews

Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists brings together in a single volume a vast amount of information normally contained in a dozen or more volumes. It is well written, concise yet comprehensive, well organized, and densely packed with lists, tables, vocabulary, and references. For those of you awaiting the release this book, you will not be disappointed. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the practice of medical psychology and to update or review their skills of prescribing psychotropics. For those studying for the Psychopharmacology Examination for Psychologists (PEP) this book is pure gold. ( Archives of Medical Psychology, Volume 2, Issue 2, December 2011) This book is concise, yet almost encyclopedic in scope. The illustrations and tables are precise and are extremely helpful in amplifying the text. In fact, the tables are so valuable that having this book is almost worth it just for the tables. The key terms and questions at the end of each chapter are wonderful learning tools and assist the reader in reviewing and integrating the essential information within each chapter. While there are concepts within this book with which the advanced practitioner will be familiar, they are essential for novices in the psychopharmacology or those not yet familiar with psychiatric medications. For example, understanding the workings of the cytochrome P450 enzymes system and its effects on medication and medication interactions is essential knowledge for the practitioner. Also, commonly used herbs and supplements, and their effects are also found within this text. This is the type of book that not only helps one prepare for the Psychopharmacology Examination for Psychologists but also belongs on the bookshelf for all psychologists providing clinical treatment in today s mental health environment. Once a practitioner undertakes mastering the material in this text, the practitioner can expect to come away with a new and enhanced view of providing psychological mental health services. From The Tablet (American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy), Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2012
