Our Flagship Publications & Resources
Psychopharmacology Bulletin
Psychopharmacology Bulletin stands as our flagship peer-reviewed journal and one of psychiatry’s most respected publications. Under the editorial leadership of Dr. Michael E. Thase (Editor-in-Chief), the journal has maintained its position as an essential resource for psychiatric professionals since joining the MedWorks library in 1999.
Indexed in PubMed, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, Current Contents, Science Citation Index, SCOPUS, and Biological Abstracts, Psychopharmacology Bulletin publishes original research, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that directly impact patient care and treatment protocols worldwide.
Licensable Psychiatric Rating Scales
MedWorks Media offers an extensive collection of validated psychiatric rating scales essential for clinical practice and research. Our portfolio includes widely-used instruments such as the Q-LES-Q series (Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire), Geriatric Depression Scale variants, and other evidence-based assessment tools. These scales are available for both individual clinical use and institutional licensing, supporting healthcare providers and researchers in delivering standardized, reliable patient assessments.
The Black Book of Psychotropic Dosing and Monitoring
The Black Book of Psychotropic Dosing and Monitoring, co-authored by Dr. Alan F. Schatzberg and Dr. Charles DeBattista, serves as the definitive clinical reference guide for psychiatric prescribing. This comprehensive resource provides essential dosing information, monitoring guidelines, and clinical pearls that support safe and effective psychopharmacological practice.
