Not to be confused with the textbook, which tells you how diseases act in the brain and how drugs act on the diseases, The Prescriber’s Guide tells you how to use the drugs.

Indexed by name, use, and class, around one hundred different drugs are covered, each in its own section with information on indications, the drugs, and how to use them. In addition to the standard evidence-based drug information, ‘tips and pearls’ based on the art of pharmacology derived as much from Dr Stahl’s real life experience as a practicing psychiatrist as from the evidence are included, and characteristic use is made of unique icons.

Frequently updated to include new drugs and revised to take account of new regulations and uses, this is an indispensable companion to Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology.
