Praise for Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists

"Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists is a remarkably thorough introductory textbook for integrating psychotropic drug prescribing into psychological practices. It covers basic concepts in physiology, neurology, and pharmacology in easily understood language. Not only is this book a requirement for any psychologist seeking to gain prescriptive authority, but it is also helpful for any mental health clinician who collaborates with prescribers of any discipline. I recommend it highly." --Daniel Carlat, MD, Editor in Chief of The Carlat Psychiatry Report

"An important resource for any psychologist who is preparing to become a prescribing psychologist or for any psychologist who wants to be informed about the practice of medical psychology." --Joseph E. Comaty, PhD, MP, coauthor of A Primer of Drug Action

"Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists is an excellent treatise written by psychologists for psychologists." --From the Foreword by Patrick H. DeLeon, PhD, and Jack G. Wiggins, PhD, former presidents of the American Psychological Association

An essential and practical guide to integrating psychopharmacology into clinical practice

  • Ethics, standards of care, laws, and regulations relevant to clinical psychopharmacology

  • Disorders of the nervous system, with particular relevance to psychopharmacology

  • Use of comprehensive diagnostic strategies to establish differential diagnoses among possible medical and psychological symptoms

  • Integration of pharmacotherapy with psychotherapy

This essential book also provides an introduction to the qualifying exam for psychologists seeking specialty training in psychopharmacology, the Psychopharmacology Exam for Psychologists (PEP). The PEP-like practice test is available on the companion CD-ROM.
