Textbook of Pharmacotherapy for Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders

Description

This important new textbook signals the "coming of age" of pharmacotherapy as an important mode of treatment for individuals eighteen years of age and under. Highly comprehensive yet remarkably well organized, optimistic while retaining a healthy scientific skepticism, this textbook has a number of unique features. Since precision in diagnosis is critical to the effective treatment of psychopathology in children and adolescents, the book focuses strongly on diagnostic issues relevant to dispensing psychotropic medications to this population. The text - most importantly - highlights similarities and differences in treating children versus adults. Where limited information is available, the authors offer recommendations on how to safely initiate treatment tailored to the pediatric population. The book covers an extensive range of psychotropic drugs and a number of adjunctive medications. Completely up-to-date, it has been written in accordance with the DSM-IV. The Textbook of Pharmacotherapy for Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders will prove invaluable not only to child and adolescent psychiatrists, but also to offer health professionals involved in the care of children and adolescents with major psychiatric disorders: psychologists, social workers, therapists, nursing staff and students, medical students, pediatricians, and family practitioners. It will be an important text for graduate and post-graduate courses in child and adolescent psychopharmacology, as well as for pediatric residents studying psychiatric disorders.
