Psychiatric Pharmacogenomics is the first practical guide to instruct psychiatrists and other clinicians on how to more effectively and safely prescribe psychotropic medications using pharmacogenomic testing. The rationale for pharmacogenomic testing is discussed in detail as it pertains to individual gene variability. Technical information about the nature and extent of genetic variability is included in special sections of each chapter. The most unique feature of the book is the inclusion of a series of clinical vignettes that illustrate the clinical usefulness of pharmacogenomic testing.
