Calling all Psych NPs/PMHNPs

[BirkieGirl]

Hi all- as a PMHNP, what are your favorite go-to academic books or journals for learning? I'm asking the practicing NPs in psych because you have experience and may have some perennial favorites.

thanks!

I work as a consultant in LTC. I really like Memory loss, Alzheimer's disease and dementia, a practical guide for clinicians by Budson.

This is specific to the population I currently work with.

There are some journals that I used to enjoy, one is Psychiatric Times, also Current Issues in Psychiatry. They usually had interesting and sometimes relevant articles.

Stahl's prescriber guide

Maudsley prescribing guidelines - succint, evidence-based, no pharma interference. It's a UK guideline and it is wonderful. I also love the MGH psychiatry texts (hospital psychiatry, they also have a more general book, etc). There's neurology for psychiatrists that's really good as well but dense. Lastly, Kaplan and Saddock are a must have for a great general reference text (the condensed version is plenty thorough).

Lastly, I highly recommend subscribing to the monthly Carlat Report. Really great resource for general updates in psychiatry, comes out monthly. Once again it's highly evidence based w/mechanisms in place for avoiding bias, pharma influence, etc.
