Algorithms play a crucial role in the field of psychopharmacology as heuristics to mitigate the biases and cognitive errors that often arise when prescribing for numerous conditions that require complex data-driven treatment. Unique among its kind, this title brings together twelve papers from the Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Psychiatry Residency Training Program, offering practical strategies for integrating evidence-based practices into the daily care of patients.

Psychopharmacology Algorithms serves as a valuable resource for practicing psychiatrists, residents, fellows, psychiatric nurse practitioners, psychiatric physician assistants who prescribe, advanced practice pharmacists who prescribe, and primary care clinicians. It is particularly useful for teachers of psychopharmacology, as well as researchers in clinical psychopharmacology, who can identify areas of importance for further study.

The book contains ten updated psychopharmacology treatment algorithms, each accompanied by a comprehensive critical evaluation of the evidence supporting the rationales for each treatment step and the advantages and disadvantages of various alternatives. Additionally, it provides introductory material explaining the usefulness of algorithms as clinical tools and guides on how to maximize their effectiveness within the book.

Special attention is given to papers focusing on inpatient psychopharmacology and residency training in psychopharmacology utilizing the algorithms. Annual updates to the accompanying eBook are planned to ensure that the content remains current and relevant.

Prepared by David N. Osser, MD, general editor of the Psychopharmacology Algorithm Project at the Harvard South Shore Program and its website {URL}, this comprehensive resource is a valuable tool for clinicians seeking to optimize the treatment of their patients with psychiatric medications.
