Review Quotes: This book offers an engaging take on modern psychopharmacology by artfully combining the author's real-world clinical experience with evidence-based treatment guidelines. Punctuated by insightful anecdotes and vignettes, this book manages to reframe the ultimate goal of modern psychopharmacology: to optimize functional recovery by aggressively seeking total symptom control.--Mark Rapaport, MD, Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University School of Medicine, and Ebrahim Haroon, MD, Emory University
