Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology: Prescriber’s Guide, 8th Edition (Paperback)

Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology: Prescriber’s Guide, Eighth Edition, is Stephen M. Stahl’s drug-by-drug formulary for psychotropic medications, published by Cambridge University Press and sold here as a new paperback for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other mental health prescribers.

The Prescriber’s Guide is the practical companion to Stahl’s main textbook. Each drug entry follows the same template: therapeutics, side effects, dosing and use, special populations, and the clinical pearls Stahl is known for. The Eighth Edition adds seven new compounds, covers newly approved formulations such as long-acting injectables and transdermal products, and updates warnings and indications across the full collection.
