I just wanted to let you know that I attended a conference you presented on Psychopharmacology in King of Prussia, PA a couple of years ago and at that time I purchased your book. I use this book with my clients and it helps me explain medications to my clients in a way that they can understand. This is part of my personal toolbox.One of the counselors at the agency I work at had your book and I was able to review Psychopharmacology: Straight Talk on Mental Health Medications 3rd Edition. I did not think you could improve on your first book, but you did!Thanks for all that you do.Regina Moran, MA, LPC, NCC
I first met Joe in one of his talks years ago. He is a pharmacist and a clinical social worker. He offers "straight talk" on the psychiatric meds that I seldom find in the professional literature or drug company materials and a level of expertise that is very refreshing. This book is excellent, up to date, and a good read. He has added new material on discontinuing medications that I have never found anywhere else.For background, until retirement I was licensed as a clinical social worker and licensed professional counselor, with almost 50 years experience in mental health services in a broad variety of public and private settings.
The title really says it all. This book was helpful, well written, and organized clearly. A great supplement to the DSM-5.
Joe Wegmann has provided a treasure chest of information that is helpful to both students and seasoned clinicians. His background as both a pharmacist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker allow for him to provide a unique presentation of both the chemical side of many different types of medications and a look at how this information will be applied to the clinical setting and direct client care. This is a perfect balance. I recommend this book to anyone in any of the mental health professions.
It's a very simple read, even for those who speak English as a secondary language. The information provided is basic, which is good for a start-up or a quick review. It's one of the assignments I give to interns, and so far they think it's helpful.
The information provided in this book is easy to follow and useful for clinical practice. Great review on psychopharmocology.
