References

Good broad look at major clinical situations and the use of medications. Very helpful for non medical folks like me!

Great resource!

The best book I’ve read on the subject! Concise, clear and informative. As a therapist this is a great resource - it’s even something I can share with clients for a better understanding of medication treatment.
The book is organized per disorder or disorder category and decision trees are in each chapter. There is also a list of biological and medical factors as well as medications that could cause certain disorders. I just love the layout and ease of this book. Must read for practitioners and prescribers!!

It is a great desk reference!

It is a great desk reference! This is a great book for all therapist to have. It does a great job at going over the medications and also I love the clinical diagnosis trees that are in this book.

Basic and easy to understand

Basic and easy to understand! Excellent reference for me, a mental health counselor. When clients come to me with medications, I can check what they are treating and determine if they need to have a conversation with the prescriber as to efficacy. In my experience, not all prescribers provide enough psycho education, which contributes to non-compliance, a major problem in behavioral health.

Ebook

Hello fellow friend,

So I've been reading the book, it appears to be decent, rather short though. Be aware, in order to read this digitally you will have to install their app and only read it only through their app, I was expecting to recieve a PDF as I don't want all the extra data and hassle of having their app on all my devices. :(
