I've just read this latest (5th) edition. Just like its predecessor, this text oozes with information and authority and I love its organized format. Many new and relevant studies have been included. Personally, it's worth the cost especially that new editions are produced every few years (the last one/4th edition was released in 2006). Highly informative!

By Michael G. Rayel, MD

Janicak's book has long been one of the best psychopharm texts available. Unlike certain other popular texts which are full of glib optimism, simplifying assumptions, and pretty pictures, this text sticks firmly to clinical evidence. It has failed to gain market prominence partly because it is too expensive (I have not bought the latest edition yet for this reason). But that problem is linked to unnecessary length caused by the authors choice to devote large segments to describing DSM-IV definitions and distinctions. This makes the text long and heavy, full of material that is easily obtained elsewhere. In many ways this detracts from the more interesting questions about how pharmacological agents impact neurophysiology and ultimately affect symptoms. DSM-IV catechism is not what one is looking for in a pharmacology textbook. I am offering this criticism because I really think this is a major reason why this book has not become recognized more widely as THE standard text.
I wish publishers and authors would consider abbreviating this extraneous material.
