This book is full of useful information and has a permanent place on my bookshelf but it’s written with all of the engagement qualities of a DIY furniture assembly manual. Nothing against this particular author because he simply follows a presumably proud tradition of textbook writing, but why must so many textbooks be stick-in-the-eye experiences? Passive voice, cumbersome language usage, mind-numbing prose… all of the qualities we’re told never to use by our composition teachers beginning in grade school. I guess most PhDs feel exempt from the rules of readability. Perhaps Dr Rosenthal (The Encyclopedia of Counseling) could start a side business teaching other academics how to write in a manner that doesn’t put the rest of us to sleep.

This book is a great tool for counselors who want to be more informed about medication options. The holistic approach taken by the authors is helpful from a mental health and wellness perspective. It helps therapist take into consideration best practices and evidence based approaches.

I appreciated the sixth edition for teaching a master’s course in psychopharmacology to clinical psychology trainees. It was concise but informative and well written. However, the 7th edition looks to be almost identical to the sixth and I see no reason why a new edition was needed.
