Posted on behalf of Suzette Evans.

Contributor(s) needed for the Final Chapter of the new American Psychological Association publication: APA Handbook of Psychopharmacology

The APA Handbook of Psychopharmacology (edited by Suzette M. Evans, PhD and Kenneth M. Carpenter, PhD) will provide a working knowledge of basic pharmacology and psychopharmacology in a language suitable for the targeted readership, and summarize the current and emerging research and clinical evidence related to the pharmacologic treatment of mental health disorders. Although psychopharmacology is constantly changing, particularly as new medications emerge, this handbook will provide a solid foundation of the field specifically geared towards psychologists. Our target audience primarily includes established psychology researchers and practitioners, but the Handbook will also be of value to allied social and behavioral scientists, as well as professionals in complementary fields such as clinical social work and mental health counseling. Moreover, psychology graduate students will find the chapters in the Handbook extremely valuable for gaining a sound familiarity with major specialties across the field.

We have identified contributors for all of the content-driven chapters and the chapters are rolling in at a rapid pace. At this time, we are in need of suggestions/offers regarding contributors for a pivotal and final chapter of the Handbook: Future Directions in Theory, Research, Practice and Policy. We are looking for someone with a very broad and global viewpoint who would be able to speak to the changing landscape of psychologists in the treatment of mental health disorders.

If you are interested in writing this chapter or have suggestions of others who might be appropriate, please contact Suzette Evans directly at se18@cumc.columbia.edu. I am looking to identify someone as soon as possible so we can maintain our production schedule so please respond by November 15th, 2017.
