Antipsychotics and their Side Effects Paperback (Cambridge Medicine (Paperback)) - Tapa blanda

'My students, in particular, enjoyed some of the background history to antipsychotic therapies. I really like the comparison tables with respect to the different agents - particularly some of the less commonly focused on side effects (e.g. ocular, derm). I have been trying to develop a comprehensive metabolic monitoring form for our patients and am very impressed with the one included in the book.' Melanie McLeod, Clinical Pharmacist, Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region

'The first section of the book is valuable as a reference for those familiar with the practice of psychiatry, or as an introduction for trainees who are becoming familiar with these compounds. Overall, the practical nature of this book makes it an excellent addition to the libraries of learners and practitioners alike.' N. D. Mitchell and S. M. Dursun, University of Alberta

'I know of no other book that covers the topic so completely, lucidly, and succinctly. It is an exceptionally praiseworthy piece of work that should be on the short list of 'must have' books for every physician, nurse, and pharmacist who deals with antipsychotic medications. I will add it to my own personal library with pleasure.' Eliot Lawrence Gardner, Chief, Neuropsychopharmacology Section, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Johns Hopkins University
