\ From the Publisher“I’m a psychoanalyst and clinical psychologist, with no medical training, and I found Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists to be a compelling and stimulating read, as well as a welcome addition to my reference shelf. This text is coherent and user-friendly, and reading it is a surprisingly pleasurable way to expand your knowledge in an area of clinical treatment usually not made this accessible to nonmedical professionals.”\ —Susan Flynn, Ph.D.\ “I recommend the Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists to psychotherapists from various clinical trainings and diverse clinical orientations, as well as to nonpsychiatric physicians and their prescribing assistants. One of the most valuable elements of this text is the authors’ reminder to consider when and how medication can be appropriate to treatment, and how the clinician is an essential part of the psycho-medical treatment team."\ “If you have only one reference book on your shelf addressing the interface between clinical treatment and psychopharmacology, this should be it.”\ —Marvin B. Berman, Ph.D.\ \ \
