Great reference book, not a textbook.

The author gives factual scientific information as well as his empirical observations. He acknowledges the benefits and limitations of medicine.

This man is a genius

Whether you’re a medical student, a patient, a family member or just curious about psychopharmacology, this was an immersive and educational experience! This audiobook certainly helped immensely with my psychopharmacology understanding for school but it is presented in a way that is accessible and easy to understand for anyone!

Excellent. Delivers title and much more.

Impressive in range and accuracy of interventions used in treating patients seeking help from mental health clinicians. To describe the scope of clinical expertise, I will use the general terms such as psycho/bio/social and neurobehavioral--to the author's credit, the writing is specific, clear, ripe with examples.
Addressing those clinical spheres, the author is long on details (how to, how not to, and how might), like a clinical supervisor or collegue instructing how best to help patients. The book addresses the clinical realities of working within and with a team, from both psychotherapist and psychopharmacologist points of view. His opinions inform many issues and were welcomed by me, fact based and formulated, not just because I agree with them.

Amazing

Great tool for those who want to know more and to be able to help patients.

Great information

Great information for those in psychiatry or those with mental illness. I took notes, throughout this book to share with my psychiatric patients and colleagues.
