Now in its sixth edition, this textbook remains the field's most comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of psychopharmacology. Twelve new chapters have been added to cover important key areas in this rapidly evolving specialty, including personalized medicine in psychiatry; the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the field; new agents with novel mechanisms, such as the neurosteroid antidepressant brexanolone and the atypical antipsychotic pimavanserin; use of investigational agents, such as psychedelics, in psychiatric treatment; evidence-based treatment of PTSD, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, and alcohol use disorder; and much more.
