 Excellent, informative and well written read. August 9, 2008
Brilliant book that is thought provoking informative. A good formative basis for further study. Good for mental health nurses.
Excellent August 5, 2008
I bought this book as a general nurse moving into a new speciality where a lot of patients have co-existing mental health problems, and I was not dissapointed!
The book takes you clearly through each of the major classes of psychiatric drugs, explaining their pharmacology (in so much as it is known), their history, their side effects and so on, in a way which is very easy to understand. I was seeking something a bit beyond memorising names and dosages, and that's exactly what I got - a well-rounded sense of understanding.
Whilst I read the book from cover to cover, I would imagine that it is equally suitable to be dipped into for info as required.

this book includes some good information but some areas are unclear and some areas are lacking in information overall useful but a bit disappointing

This book is a must have for all practitioners including student nurses. It is easy to read, informative and does exactly what it says on the cover. Psychiatric Drugs Explained clearly, definitively and methodically takes you through each drug catergory leaving the reader with the information they need. One of the few books you'll read, recommend and buy the next edition of. I recommend this book for all student mental health nurses.

Now in its third edition, this is an indispensable book for mental health professionals. It is very clearly laid out for easy reference with a comprehensive index and references for further reading if needed. The "User Issues" text boxes are a great innovation in this edition and will be of great use to any mental health professional, but in particular those organising psychoeducation or medication information groups. The book seems to be purposefully designed for quick reference, the first page of each chapter even has its own contents list with page numbers for issues covered in that chapter. If you only ever get one psychopharmacology text, this is it!
