Don't mistake the title:
As a counseling clinician for 28 years, I speak from experience when it comes to written psychopharmacological aids. This book is the best. You might think you want to discount the book because of the "rediculously simple" part of the title. Don't! You will find this book to be comprehensive, yet easy to use.
Book review:
The book arrived in a timely fashion and the book quality was excellent. Thanks!
Informative and unintimidating:
This book was used for a text book in my MFT program at CSUDH this summer 2008. Easy read and excellent to keep on the shelf as a reference. Good for basic understanding of meds and reactions to meds. Written for a lay-person to understand and grasp the fundamentals of drug use in the mental health field.
Clinical Psychopharm. made Ridculously Simplr:
Good review for someone who has been away from this area for several years. Concise and to the point.
