Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Aaron Plattner, MD (Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services)
Description: This is a helpful review of psychopharmacological and somatic treatment for psychiatric diseases. The book includes an access code for an ebook version.
Purpose: The editors gathered experts in psychiatry to provide an up-to-date reference on psychopharmacological and somatic treatments. With all the research that has been done and the discovery of new treatment strategies, this is an important objective.
Audience: The editors note that in addition to psychiatrists, nurses, psychologists, and internists also would benefit from this book. As is apparent from the title, the authors are largely from Massachusetts General Hospital, but they also collaborate with experts from other institutions.
Features: Composed of chapters from Massachusetts General Hospital Comprehensive Clinical Psychiatry, 2nd edition, Stern et al. (Elsevier, 2016), this book reviews psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, different psychopharmacological and somatic treatment considerations, and topics such as treatment adherence that directly impact the treatment of psychiatric patients. Each chapter contains helpful illustrations.
Assessment: This is an excellent resource. Chapters are clearly and efficiently written. With the move towards digital communication, access to the website version is very helpful. My only critique is that the 19 chapters chosen for this book from the 94 in the main textbook did not include chapters on depression, anxiety, psychosis, malingering, and delirium. These should have been included for the readers in the audience who are not psychiatrists.
