Rezensionen

"This is the first book that specifically focuses on ketamine for treatment-resistant depression. This topic has been covered in lectures, articles, and briefly in some textbooks, but this is the first book I have read that specifically covers it. Given the limited available data, the book succeeds in its stated goal to inform readers about what is currently known about ketamine. Updated editions will be needed to reflect the growing knowledge base and eventual treatment strategies using ketamine." --© Doody's Review Service, 2020, Aaron Plattner, MD(Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services), reviewer, expert opinion
