There's been a lot of research since 1999 though... It might not be inaccurate but it certainly will omit over a decade of research including rudimentary findings discovered through newer and more accurate techniques--many myths have been dispelled, uncertainties certified, discoveries nullified, models updated, etc., etc., etc.

I came to this thread in hopes of finding resources to help develop my psychopharm but honestly the age of that book frightens me. I have Kandel's, which is a little too encyclopedic for my current aims, and I took a class based on McKim's Brain and Behavior: An Introduction to Psychopharmacology but it was a rather brief overview of everything--not quite as encyclopedic as I'd like. Kandel's is a great reference but way too meticulous for casual learning. McKim's is great to get up to speed but lacks in depth. I'm checking out Psychopharmacology right now at the library. Also looking into Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, of which I would immediately mention the figures and illustrations are horrendous--though this is just a surface comment as I haven't yet read any of it. But whoever the designer is, they're living in the 90s. Stuff looks straight out of 4th grade Corel Draw class. Higher budget for writing?

I read Drugs and Behavior: An Introduction to Behavioral Pharmacology 6th ed. for a Drugs and Behavior course. Great for an introduction.

For psychology I'd have to recommend Biopsychology. Had to read this one for Brain and Behavior.

I'll throw The Lucifer Princple in just because I love it.
