Reviews

This book has an engaging, fluid style and is a pleasure to dip into at random. Few could read it from cover to cover, largely because of the huge amount of information presented... The CD-ROM wersion is particularly useful... this new publication represents a major advance in the identification and evaluation of drug-induced psychiatric effects. It is recommended for hospital pharmacy departments and practicing psychiatrists. The CD-ROM version is recommended for hospital and community networks where they exist. British Journal of Psychiatry
