Psychotropic Drug Prescriber’s Survival Guide:
Ethical Mental Health Treatment in the Age of Big Pharma

Amelia N. Dubovsky and Stephen L. Dubovsky
W. W. Norton, New York, 2007
187 pages, $27.50

If you enjoyed the article on antidepressants and Numbers Needed to Treat, and would like to learn more about how to interpret pharmaceutical studies, this is an excellent, concise, and readable text. It does a good job showing you how to look for the “spin” in an article, and how to sort the facts from the hype.

Catering to a wide audience that includes primary-care physicians, psychologists, therapists, school personnel, and parents, Dr. Shatkin writes in a clear, accessible manner, balancing well-written overviews with a useful degree of detail. Ed Note: Dr. Shatkin is a member of editorial board forThe Carlat Child Psychiatry Report.
