Teaching Pearls from the Lost Art of Psychopharmacology JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRIC PRACTICE Glick, I. D., Balon, R. J., Ballon, J., Rovine, D. 2009; 15 (5): 423-426

Abstract

Rapid advances in neuroscience and clinical research have made the practice of quality clinical psychopharmacology increasingly difficult. While practice guidelines, model psychopharmacology curricula, and clinical algorithms have helped "the science" of psychopharmacology, they often fail to provide guidance for clinicians in specific clinical situations with individual patients. Quality psychopharmacology practice is based on a combination of knowledge, experience, judgment, and luck. In this article, the authors present their collection of psychopharmacology "pearls" for trainees as well as experienced clinicians. (Journal of Psychiatric Practice 2009;15:423-426).
