Paperback / softback
Description
The field of child and adolescent psychopharmacology is rapidly growing, but psychopharmacological treatments for children cannot be straightforwardly extrapolated from adult studies, which presents clinicians with assessment and prescribing challenges.
This important book synthesises research findings about drug treatment of a broad range of psychiatric disorders in children, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar mania, aggression in pervasive developmental disorder, Tourette's syndrome and substance abuse.
They examine the issues of tolerability and efficacy, and appropriate use, within a social and developmental context.
For each disorder, pharmacotherapy is discussed in the wider context of neurobiology, etiology, diagnosis and treatment.
This will be essential reading for all mental health professionals to inform practice and improve patient outcomes.
