Review Quotes

"Practical, thorough, and easy to use-a must for all prescribers!"

-Fred R. Volkmar, MD

Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine

"This is a very helpful and user-friendly guidebook. The information fits on one page with bullets rather than unnecessary verbiage. FDA indications are noted as well as off-label uses; evidence/research is cited (including negative studies). Dose guidelines and side effects are easy to spot.

Medications included go beyond what the usual psychopharmacology book includes. Altogether, this book packs a real punch!"

-GABRIELLE A. CARLSON, MD

Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics, Stony Brook University School of Medicine

"From one of the most trusted names in psychopharmacology comes this user-friendly, practical, and extremely useful guide to the treatment of child and adolescent mental illness. Highly recommended for both trainees and experienced practitioners alike. I myself will be referring back to this book for years to come."

-JESS P. SHATKIN, MD, MPH

Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Pediatrics, NYU School of Medicine
