About this title

Synopsis

Providing essential information about current pharmacological approaches to learning and behavior problems in children and adolescents, this practical and accessible guide focuses on issues of particular relevance to clinical child psychologists, pediatric psychologists, and school psychologists. Short-term and long-term effects of specific medications are covered in depth, as is the psychologist's role in assessing and monitoring medication response. Written from a balanced ecological perspective, the book gives special attention to such topics as treatment acceptability and satisfaction; compliance; ethical, cultural, and legal issues; and informed consent.
