About the Book:

Welcome to a new approach designed to make psychopharmacology less threatening, more relevant, and easier to understand. Psychopharmacology: A Step-by-Step Programmed Guide is a textbook, but not like the ones with which most students and working professionals are familiar. It is a hybrid, step-by-step programmed guide. Unique in the field, it is a “working textbook.” This programmed approach is perfect for beginning students, seasoned prescribers, mental health professionals, or consumers who desire to build, review, or expand their knowledge base in this exciting field.
