- Summary:
- This book provides essential information to practitioners who wish to optimize their treatment of childhood and adolescent mental disorders through a better understanding of psychopharmacological agents and improved collaborative options with prescribing clinicians. It informs readers about medications proven effective in the treatment of children and adolescents via double-blind studies and the various nonpharmacological interventions that have empirical support. In addition to guidelines for the integration of psychosocial and pharmacological interventions, this book suggests solutions to the difficulties that practitioners encounter in persuading patients and their families to begin and adhere to a treatment regimen. Furthermore, practitioners will learn straightforward ways to determine the effectiveness of medication protocols and to actively participate in collaborative interventions. The book contains concise examples and instructive tables and is organized by disorder rather than medication class. Key information is provided on anxiety, elimination, mood, externalizing, and psychotic disorders as well as tics, Tourette's syndrome, mental retardation, and autistic spectrum disorders.
