Psychiatric Syndromes and Drug Treatment - Hardcover

Psychiatric Syndromes and Drug Treatment presents a practical approach to the use of drugs with psychiatric patients. This book is an essential reference for every mental health professional. A both researchers and practicing clinicians, Drs. Kline and Angst have evolved a clear, systematic approach to decision making regarding the administration of psychotropic drugs to individual patients. Their classification by syndrome meets the reality more closely than does any other system. This is a workable, instructive methodology of grouping patients for the purpose of choice, dosage, and administration of medications, based upon the authors' controlled studies - where these were applicable - and upon their own clinical experience and that of knowledgeable colleagues.
