Considerations for ethical treatment, however, demand that clinicians be wary of advertising hype, aggressive sales pitches, and confusing statistical methods. Psychotropic Drug Prescriber's Survival Guide is a long-awaited primer on the basic principles of pharmaceutical research, statistical methods, and health care ethics. The common sense approach of the authors enables practitioners to use information about psychiatric medications intelligently and to develop responsible prescribing practices.This book appears at a time when new guidelines are emerging every day in response to growing public concern about industry marketing. The authors write within the context of this changing policy environment and apprise readers of what is developing in terms of regulations and what impact those regulations will have on their practice. However, sensible prescribers recognize that responsible treatment still cannot depend on external controls. Psychotropic Drug Prescriber's Survival Guide helps clinicians negotiate this complex situation and arms them with strategies for getting to the facts in an era in which solid science competes with marketing fictions.

This book provides thorough discussions of major topics in clinical psychiatry. These discussions are clinically focused, with treatment algorithms and illustrations of how to provide specific therapies and what to do if they do not work. Sufficient attention is also paid to theoretical issues for readers to understand pathophysiology, psychopathology and treatment rationales, and for residents to perform well on certification examinations. There is also an emphasis on how to interpret research and how to understand and utilize practice guidelines. Current publications aimed at residents do not provide practical guidance on application of treatments and they do not teach critical thinking. This book provides practical approaches to psychiatric disorders and teaches the reader how to interpret current research and how to apply it in the clinical setting. Actual patient vignettes and algorithms will make the material more readily available to physicians on clinical services. Treatment during pregnancy and the postpartum period and treatment of children will be included, whereas current books usually do not cover this material.
