Psychopharmacology - A Handbook for New Zealand Health Professionals

In 1998, Whitireia Community Polytechnic produced a booklet to help students in their Graduate Diploma of Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing programme. The booklet proved so popular that it was decided to develop and publish it, making it more accessible to other health professionals already in the mental health profession. Now a revised and updated second edition has been published. PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY: A HANDBOOK FOR NEW ZEALAND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS is a guide to pharmacotherapy and psychotropic medications currently used in mental health and addiction practice. This handbook features up-to-date information on psychotropic medications, including adverse affects, interactions, clinical alerts and PRN administration, and is presented in an easy to use format. PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY: A HANDBOOK FOR NEW ZEALAND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS is a vital resource not only for those working in the fields of mental health and addictions, but all health professionals working in primary, secondary or tertiary settings.
