About this title

Synopsis

The Pocket Guide for the Textbook of Pharmacotherapy for Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders is a quick reference guide for psychiatrists, therapists, social workers, and other practitioners to give them the bottom line about each group of medications. This guide, which discusses the use of psychiatric drugs in patients under 18, accompanies this author team's complete book, Textbook of Pharmacotherapy for Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders. Clinical indications, dosage guidelines, side effects, common drug interactions and most tables are retained and updated in this new guide. In addition, the guide includes new research findings that have been published recently. This guide assumes the reader has done a complete assessment of all non-pharmacologic methods before treating the patient with medication. It also assumes that the reader has a working knowledge of the types of medication available for treating psychiatric illnesses. Once everything is taken into account, the practitioner can accurately determine the advantages and disadvantages of a specific treatment and relay that to the patient. Above all, the Pocket Guide for the Textbook of Pharmacotherapy for Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Disorders provides the reader with the practical guidelines to safely and effectively prescribe medication.
