Psychotherapist's resource on psychiatric medications

Description:

"This book is for anyone studying medications used in the treatment of mental illness and an exceptional reference for practitioners. The authors introduce you to the nature and uses of psychiatric medications, treatment, and referral issues that could influence counselors' work with clients who are already using psychiatric medications or potentially should be. Each chapter is independent, including an introduction to the etiology of the psychiatric problem and mechanisms of action, and is organized under familiar headings, such as depression and bipolar disorders, anxiety and panic disorder, and pain."--BOOK JACKET.
