A Primer of Drug Action PDF

This is my 2nd procurement of this book. The reason I am buying it again is b/c I used the first one so much it fell apart. I only wish it were available in hardback so it would hold up to high usage.

By Dr. S

I have been using Dr. Julien's text to teach Intro to Clinical Psychopharm for several editions now, and it just keeps improving. Not only is he dedicated to providing a balanced view of psychotropic medications--which can be rare in writings in this area--but he understands and emphasizes the need to balance any medication treatment with behavioral therapy or psychotherapy.

For teachers: if you are interested in adopting this text to teach a class, there are great online resources available, including images, powerpoint slides, and a test bank. I tend to use my own slides, but incorporate many of the book's figures, charts, and diagrams into lectures.

I tried Preston et al for a couple of years, but found it too simplistic for the graduate level. I know many other profs choose that one, and I would say I'm about 70-30 in favor of Julien.
Hope this helps
