Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology. The textbook that started it all, now in its fourth edition.

It tells you how diseases act in the brain, and how drugs act on those diseases. With its use of icons and figures that form the unique ‘visual language’ for psychopharmacology which has become a signature feature of all of Dr Stahl’s books, it is the single most readily readable source of information on disease and drug mechanisms for psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, pharmacists and other health professionals, in training and in practice.

The fourth edition represents the most radical update this book has ever had. In addition to being thoroughly updated the book has been slimmed down, with redundancies and older material taken out, and a new larger page size and two column layout making the ‘essentials’ even easier to access than before.
