Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

Principles and Practice of Psychopharmacotherapy is an updated version of a popular and practical psychopharmacology text. A significant foreword is provided by Jonathan O. Cole, M.D. The book begins by outlining the general principles and diagnostic and monitoring techniques used in psychopharmacotherapy, as well as the use of laboratory testing in patients undergoing pharmacotherapy.

From the Editors

New Series The JCP Podcast Stigma may still block care even after access and cost barriers are removed, and medical mistrust may be the expected response clinicians need to validate before they can reduce. This conversation makes the case that a simple patient story, delivered well, might function as a real clinical intervention.
