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, however,
therapeutic standards may change. Moreover, specific situations may require 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.
