Perfect book for mental health professionals who need a quick reference for drug prescription. This book has not only broadened by knowledge about mental health drugs, but has also helped me provide better patient care since I can talk with psychiatrists and MDs to recommend changes to meds with information to back up my claim. Really good investment for any mental health professional looking to expand their clinical library!

Basic info and easy read
It's a very simple read, even for those who speak English as a secondary language. The information provided is basic, which is good for a start-up or a quick review. It's one of the assignments I give to interns, and so far they think it's helpful.
