Abstract:
This volume of articles focuses on the increasingly important yet controversial topic of psychopharmacologic treatment for adolescent emotional and behavioral disorders. It begins with a practical "when and how to medicate" guideline for primary care physicians and then follows with concise, comprehensive reviews of medications used to treat the major disorders seen in a child and family practice including substance abuse and complimentary and alternative treatments.
