Psychopharmacology: Study Guide to Psychopharmacology: a Companion to the American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychopharmacology

"The questions should be challenging for anyone, and the explanations are particularly useful for the audience likely to be using the study guide. It will undoubtedly benefit anyone wishing to assess their knowledge of psychopharmacology, and should serve as a useful resource for potential board examinees as they prepare for this comprehensive and challenging test."-- "Steven T. Herron, M.D., Doddy Enterprises", "2010"
