About this title

Synopsis

Unique in the field, Psychopharmacology Algorithms, 2nd Edition, compiles key papers from the Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Psychiatry Residency Training Program and presents practical ways to adopt evidence-based practices into the day-to-day treatment of patients. Prepared by Dr. David N. Osser, this up-to-date reference contains thirteen psychopharmacology treatment algorithms designed to assist with the clinical use of psychiatric medications, each complete with extensive critical evaluation of the evidence supporting the rationales for each treatment step and the advantages and disadvantages of various alternatives to the recommended treatments. An accompanying video lecture for each algorithm recorded especially for the new edition is available in the eBook.

• Presents the background on the development of each algorithm before providing a node-by-node walk-through, flowcharts, and key takeaways; each algorithm paper is in its full and original form followed by updated recommendations where necessary
• Includes four all-new algorithms on agitation in acute psychotic and manic episodes, generalized anxiety disorder in older adults, core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder in adults, and behavioral/psychological symptoms in dementia, as well as thorough updates to all previous algorithms in the first edition algorithms
• Features new videos of Dr. Osser’s highly popular lectures in the eBook, each an hour-long or more
• Contains introductory material examining the evidence-base supporting the usefulness of algorithms as clinical tools and how to make best use of the algorithms in the book
• A useful resource for practicing psychiatrists, residents, and fellows, as well as psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychiatric physician assistants, advanced practice pharmacists who prescribe, primary care clinicians, psychopharmacology instructors, and researchers
