Integrating Psychotherapy and Psychopharmacology: A Handbook for Clinicians is a practical guide for the growing number of mental-health practitioners searching for information on treatments that combine psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and psychosocial rehabilitation. Research shows that combined approaches are among the most effective ways to treat an increasing number of psychiatric disorders. However, though these combined treatments are becoming the everyday practice of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental-health professionals, identifying the right treatment plan can be notoriously difficult, and clinicians are often left scrambling to answer questions about how to design and customize their treatment strategies. In Integrating Psychotherapy and Psychopharmacology, readers will find these questions fully addressed and the answers explained, and they’ll come away from the book with a toolbox full of strategies for helping their patients improve symptoms, achieve remission, and stay well using a combination of drug and psychological treatments.

The book identifies popular classes of drugs by brand and generic names, and provides fact sheets that therapists can offer to parents or that parents can show to those doctors who may need more information to make sound treatment decisions. This revised edition includes new research and medication information, updates to the section detailing the relationship between antidepressants and suicide risk, and new sidebars that explain each medication's side effects and signs of toxicity.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The human brain contains approximately 100 billion nerve cells, which are called neurons. The proper functioning of the nervous system depends on communication between the neurons. Each neuron receives oxygen, glucose, and a host of other molecules from adjacent capillaries. #2 The human brain’s 100 billion nerve cells are richly interconnected, making approximately 100 trillion synapses. In almost all instances, the nerve cells do not actually touch one another; they are separated by this tiny space. #3 The process of nerve activity begins with stimulation of the cell. The activation of excitatory receptors on the dendrites or the cell body results in a brief change in electrical potential from the cell’s resting state. This change is called an action potential. #4 The effects of receptor binding vary greatly depending on which type of receptor is activated. Some neurotransmitters are excitatory, while others are inhibitory and act like a brake when turned on. The serotonin system in the brain is an exception, as the molecule serotonin is not inherently excitatory or inhibitory.
