Abstract

Although pharmacotherapy has become the most widely used psychiatric treatment, psychiatric education reveals a striking neglect of clinical psychopharmacology.

The author presents some ideas for a model course that attempts to integrate psychopharmacological topics with clinical psychopathology and psychiatric theory in general.
