Stephen M. Stahl

Meghan M. Grady

The Stahl's Illustrated books are a series of pocket-sized, mid-priced, themed volumes. They distil theoretical information from the Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology volume and combine this with practical data from The Prescriber's Guide. They are illustration heavy and designed to encourage speedy learning of both concepts and applications. The visual learner will find that these books make the concepts easier to master, and the non-visual learner will appreciate the clear, shortened text on complex psychopharmacological concepts. This volume covers the latest developments in our understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. As well as covering the full range of management options, there is a specific focus on the implications for military populations. The Stahl's Illustrated series appeals to the widest possible audience of mental health professionals, and not just those with expertise in psychopharmacology.

Stahl's Illustrated Anxiety, Stress, and PTSD

All of the titles in the Stahl's Illustrated series are designed to be fun. Concepts are illustrated by full color images that will be familiar to all readers of Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, Third Edition, and The Prescriber's Guide. The visual learner will find that these books make psychopharmacology concepts easy to master, while the non visual learner will enjoy a shortened text version of complex psychopharmacology concept. Within each book, each chapter builds on previous chapters, synthesizing information from basic biology and diagnosics to building treatment plans and dealing with complications and comorbidities. Novices may want to approach Stahl's Illustrated series by first looking through all the graphics and gaining a feel for the visual vocabulary Readers more familiar with these topics should find that going back and forth between images and text provides an interaction with which to vividly conceptualize complex pharmacologies. And to help guide the reader toward more in-depth learning about particular concepts each book ends with a Suggested Reading section.
