| Summary |
"Following the success of the first collection of Stahl's Case Studies, published in 2011, we are pleased to present this completely new selection of clinical stories. Designed with the distinctive user-friendly presentation readers have become accustomed to and making use of icons, questions/answers and tips, these cases address complex issues in an understandable way and with direct relevance to the everyday experience of clinicians. Covering a wide-ranging and representative selection of clinical scenarios, each case is followed through the complete clinical encounter, from start to resolution, acknowledging all the complications, issues, decisions, twists and turns along the way. The book is about living through the treatments that work, the treatments that fail, and the mistakes made along the journey. This is psychiatry in real life - these are the patients from your waiting room - this book will reassure, inform and guide better clinical decision making"-- Provided by publisher. |

"Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology started in 1996 as a textbook (currently in its fourth edition) on how psychotropic drugs work. It then expanded to a companion Prescriber's Guide in 2005 (currently in its fifth edition) on how to prescribe psychotropic drugs. In 2008, a website was added (stahlonline.org) with both of these books available online in combination with several more, including an Illustrated series of books covering specialty topics in psychopharmacology. The Case Studies shows how to apply the concepts presented in these previous books to real patients in a clinical practice setting"-- Provided by publisher. |
