At the first level, the book teaches novice prescribers practical diagnostic skills and provides a brief overview of pertinent genetic and neuroimaging findings to increase prescribing confidence. This approach allows a clinician to access this book periodically throughout the care of an individual patient and to gradually progress through a series of more advanced psychopharmacological techniques for making accurate and efficient diagnoses. Next, it provides mid-level clinicians with intermediate techniques and guidelines for more difficult cases. Practical Psychopharmacology takes the novel approach of writing at three different levelsbeginning, intermediate, and advancedto give the practicing psychopharmacologist a tailored experience. Readers can also visit the book’s eResource page to download a bonus chapter on eating disorders as well as case studies and multiple-choice questions for each chapter..
