This book, in its new and revised sixth edition, joins many other important contributionsby the author, Professor Stahl, directed toward the continuing education of physiciansin the field of psychopharmacology. Dedicating this book to the class of antipsychoticsis a good indication of how much the field of antipsychotics has expanded over the pastfew years. The book covers 34 antipsychotic medications, both old and new. Eachantipsychotic is presented under 5 categories: Therapeutics, Side Effects, Dosing andUse, Special Population, and the Art of Psychopharmacology. Each category is designatedby a different colour. The information given about each category is concise enough to bepractical for the clinician reader but also informative enough to give the essentialsthat clinician readers need to master for the rational prescription ofantipsychotics.
