Beginning this month, CNS Spectrums will publish this column, “Trends in Psychopharmacology,” on a bi-monthly basis. Developments in psychopharmacology are proceeding at a fast pace, and this column will cover important and emerging areas from the field in a format that will be brief, and hopefully understandable. Topics will include what is new, “hot,” controversial, or informative in the field, and, of course, suggestions for future columns are always welcome.
