Conceptual Objectives for a Model Course in Psychopharmacology in Psychiatric Education
Abstract
Although pharmacotherapy has become the most widely used psychiatric treatment, psychiatric education reveals a striking neglect of clinical psychopharmacology. Our educational objective should be the development of knowledge in pharmacopsychiatry that is not limited to useful drugs but embodies interrelated aspects of clinical and experimental psychiatry. The author presents some ideas for a model course that attempts to integrate psychopharmacological topics with clinical psychopathology and psychiatric theory in general.
