Basic Psychopharmacology for Psychologists and Psychotherapists

"In this book, a part of the treatment of mental disorders is presented in an extremely attractive and clear way. The perfect way of writing and developing the subject make it enjoyable to read, easy to understand, even study, by therapists unfamiliar with psychopharmacology. Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy are usually given by different mental health professionals but are aimed at a single patient.Knowledge of basic psychotherapeutic principles by psychiatrists and psychopharmacology by other clinicians or mental health professionals is essential as never before for the best possible treatment of such complex phenomena as mental disorders."

(Filippos Gourzis, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, University of Patras)

"This book is an excellent overview of psychopharmacology for both those who have medical education and those who do not. It offers important, valid and up-to-date information, in a simple, understandable and comprehensible way and is tailored to meet the needs of mental health professionals in Greece.

In addition, the editors of the Greek edition have taken care to include easy-to-use annexes listing the brand names of medicines in Greece and their main approved indications, as well as an extensive English-Greek glossary of pharmacology-psychopharmacology terms that may be useful to anyone interested.
