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, Ph D, 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. De Leon,
Ph D, and Jack G. Wiggins, Ph D, former presidents of the American
Psychological Association
