Note: The authors have worked to ensure that all information in this book is

accurate at the time of publication and consistent with general psychiatric and

medical standards, and that information concerning drug dosages, schedules,

and routes of administration is accurate at the time of publication and consistent

with standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the general

medical community. As medical research and practice continue to advance, how-

ever, therapeutic standards may change. Moreover, specific situations may re-

quire a specific therapeutic response not included in this book. For these reasons

and because human and mechanical errors sometimes occur, we recommend

that readers follow the advice of physicians directly involved in their care or the

care of a member of their family.
