Cleverly illustrated with simple cartoons, this book presents complex information in an easily accessible manner ... Essential Psychopharmacology is a first rate book."

I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to all psychiatric trainees." Journal of Intellectual Disability Research "As an MRC psychiatry student I have benefited enormously from studying this book. Stahl has allowed me to see the light in what I previously found to be a very complex subject, it has made a fascinating and fulfilling read," International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry "Essential Psychopharmacology offers a wide rangé of readers an engaging and comprehensive view of psychopharmacology. It is highly recommended to both novice and experienced researchers, who stand to gain a new or renewed appreciation for the complexity and beauty of how the nervous system mediates the behavioural effects of drugs."

This book belongs in every clinician's library and serves as a model of clarity for others."

I recommend this text as an extremely useful reference work as we enter the next decade of discovery in brain neurosciences and its role in clinical psychiatry."
