Stahl's Illustrated Violence is a concise and highly illustrated guide to the underlying neurobiology, genetic predisposition and management of aggressive behaviours in patients with psychiatric disorders. 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 readers of Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, 4th 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 concepts. Each chapter builds on previous ones, synthesizing information from basic biology and diagnostics to building treatment plans and dealing with complications and comorbidities. Novices may want to begin by 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. Each book ends with a Suggested Reading section to help guide more in-depth learning about particular concepts. Review: Very informative and filled with great information about an issue not easily treated - Very informative and filled with great information about an issue not easily treated. I will be using this as a reference for clinical practice. Stahl, as always, does not disappoint. Review: Useful in approaching violence - Excellent in that dissects "violence" into subtypes, discusses theoretical neurophysiology, and approaches to each. Great resource.

Poor
There is only little information in the book that was new to me, it was more like common knowledge. The comments below the figures are too vague and short. There is also a lot of typos. This book definitely needs a revision. Moreover, it came folded. Not worth the money…

Psychopharmacological treatment of violence
This is a very good overview of the rationale in pharmacological approaches to the treatment of violence,especially the use of antipsychotics. However,the use of other psychotropics isn’t handled so well. This may be because the use of other psychotropics doesn’t have as much evidentiary support as the use of antipsychotics. At any rate,the result is a sense of imbalance.

A recommander sans restriction
L'ouvrage se lit facilement pour les étudiants et les non spécialistes de la question. L'approfondissement est toujours possible à travers la bibliographie si le propos clair vous semble simpliste.

Informative and reassuring on an understudied topic
Helpful information when all else has failed and you need to prescribe. There is so little guidance out there on this controversial issue that it is comforting to know that there is some rationale that can be explored. Perhaps a little less groping in the dark.
