Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists

This review is solely based on the condition of the book and not the content. I bought this book new the spine is peeling, the pages wont lay flat, and the print is cut off in several pages. This book is a fake. You would think that it would have better quality but the price was too good to pass up. You get what you pay for.

I bought this book as a required text for a graduate class. I found this text to be highly useful across classes. It provides information and facts about disorders and diagnosis, as well as the biological mechanisms of the disorder and/or treatments. Then, in a later matching chapter, pharmacological options are discussed in detail, including risks and benefits. My only complaint is that the book tends to provide a large amount of info on a particular medication option or two, while seriously lacking detail on others. If you choose to study one of the less detailed options, the book serves as a good starting point but further research will probably be needed for more detailed or specific info. On a good note, there are OTC and herbal options discussed as appropriate, plus an entire chapter dedicated to this area. This is generally a well-written book that is easy to understand with having minimal background in biology. If you need a resource for understanding mental health medications, this is a good one that is not too hard to digest.

This book was put together very horribly. This is a hardback book so the pages should not be falling out unless ripped out. As soon as you turn the pages in the book they all start to fall out. The entire book has fallen apart and I have been trying to keep up with pages by placing them in a large envelope. I have never had book fall apart just by turning pages. It appears as if there was no attachment in the inseam so the pages were just laid in the book, but as soon as you start to turn a page they came out one by one. I would not suggest anyone buying this book unless another way is found to put the book together so that it stays together.

The book is very informative and a value added text to every therapist's library. The major problem is the book's binding. There are only two sewn points and they are close to the center of the binding. This leaves too much loose space above and below those binding points which, after only a few reads, resulted in folds at the upper corners on the binding side. It feels like the pages are going to fall out from the binding every time you turn a page.

This book was no where close to being new, unless it was just being thrown around the warehouse the entire time. The binding on this book cracked, the edges look worn and the front cover looks like there is water trapped under the cover. This is the ugliest, "NEW" book I have ever purchased. I always purchase books here and when I purchase a "USED" book, this is the quality I get. not a new book.I don't have time or money to send it back and wait to get another one since I have already began class and really need. Otherwise, I would send it back!!!!

The version of this book I received (fulfilled through amazon) is an illegally printed version. Typos on the cover and all throughout the text which come from poor copier quality. Misaligned cover page. Poor paper and binding quality. Very distracting since it is a technical textbook, and since it was advertised as the official text and sold at a corresponding price.

Great information in this book for class. Preston clearly articulates the information at a level that’s not to high level. I’ve taken a psychopharmacology class before and I’ve learned so much more from this book than in any course I’ve taken before.

The exorbitant amount of typos in this version and the lack of any citations from the last decade caused me to seriously doubt the content. I wouldn't have trusted the material I this handbook, had I not been in a psychopharmacology class!

This book is riddled with problems. I’ve encountered multiple errors in which a word is either missing letters or an incorrect letter is used. There were two spelling errors within the first 2 pages of the first chapter. Some pages look like they started running out of ink so the text appears grey rather than black. It honestly seems like they took the textbook and tried to reproduce it without checking for errors

Livro muito simples , informações usuais e superficiais ; menos detalhado que as bulas dos remédios; deve ser útil para Psicólogos, Enfermeiros e Estudantes; para Psiquiatras experientes , é livro inútil; arrependido da compra ; se pudesse, devolvia

No complaints. Arrived in good conditions. Helpful info. Fast delivery.

Quick delivery and as described!
