Reviews

'Safe prescribing is essential for good psychiatric care. This handy go-to guide is packed with up-to-date psychopharmacological knowledge condensed into bite-sized chunks to support practitioners in providing the best biopsychosocial care to patients with mental illness.' Dr Shubulade Smith CBE, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, UK ‘…one of those few tools from which practising psychiatrists and trainees – both UK and international medical graduates – as well as non-mental health specialists will equally benefit. It includes an impressive amount of information ... a wonderfully comprehensive book for its small size.’ Emmeline Lagunes-Cordoba and Derek K. Tracy for The British Journal of Psychiatry
