Table Of ContentPreface; 1. Psychosis and schizophrenia; 2. Antipsychotic agents; Suggested reading; Index; CME post tests and evaluations.
SynopsisDrawn from the best-selling second edition of Essential Psychopharmacology, Steve Stahl has revised and updated the chapters covering antipsychotics and mood stabilizers in this separate volume. This new book covers the many dimensions of psychosis, particularly as associated with schizophrenia, and examines the role of dopamine in psychosis along with the various theories about the causes, pathophysiology, and treatment of schizophrenia. New material includes discussion of a promising new agent, aripiprazole, the first in a new class of dopamine stabilizers; the use of anticonvulsant agents to treat manic psychosis as well as being used as adjuncts to more traditional antipsychotic treatments for psychosis and schizophrenia; and the newest atypical antipsychotic ziprasidone. CME self-assessment tests are included., Updated from the best-selling second edition of Essential Psychopharmacology, in this new book Stephen Stahl has revised the chapters covering antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. New material includes discussion of two new theories about dopaminergic modulation of receptors by new antipsychotic drugs: firstly, the 'fast dissociation' (hit and run) hypothesis for how the atypical antipsychotics act, and secondly, a whole new class of antipsychotic agents, known as dopamine system stabilizers, with the protypical agent aripiprazole. Also covered is the use of anticonvulsant agents to treat manic psychosis and the newest atypical antipsychotic ziprasidone. The antipsychotics chapter has increased by a third, with nearly fifty new images to illustrate the stunning advances in antipsychotic and mood stabilizer treatments since the publication of the second edition. This book will be essential reading for all professionals treating psychosis, and students who need to know the mechanisms of drug actions. CME self-assessment tests are included., Updated and expanded from Essential Psychopharmacology, new material includes two new theories about dopaminergic modulation of receptors by new antipsychotic drugs; the protypical agent aripiprazole and dopamine system stabilizers; the use of anticonvulsant agents; the newest atypical antipsychotic ziprasidone; and nearly fifty new images. CME self-assessment tests are included.
