Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology, 2nd ed

Abstract

Reviews the book, Clinical Manual of Addiction Psychopharmacology, 2nd ed edited by Henry R. Kranzler, Domenic A. Ciraulo and Leah R. Zindel (see record [rid]2013-43737-000[/rid]). This second edition updates the 2005 original publication with advances in neurobiology and genetics of addiction. The book discusses epidemiology and pharmacology, practical treatment guidelines and useful information, such as benzodiazepine equivalents or the buprenorphine induction schedule. This book is outstanding for both beginning and advanced learner sand may be recommend that clinical students in an addiction rotation read a chapter a week based on a clinical case. Addiction and general practice psychiatrists will find this book an excellent reference both for daily clinical practice and as the evidence base for that practice.
