The new, third edition of the Clinical Manual of Child and
Adolescent Psychopharmacology has been thoroughly revised, yet its
mission remains the same: to keep clinicians up-to-date on the
latest research so that they can provide state-of-the-art care to
their young patients. To this end, the book describes and explores
those elements that are specific to pediatric psychopharmacology;
this defines and positions the volume at the nexus of child and
adolescent psychiatry, pediatrics, and pharmacology. A stellar
roster of contributors addresses new treatments for youths with
disruptive behavior disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders,
pervasive developmental disorders, and psychotic illnesses and
tackles some of the most important emerging issues in the field.
For example, advances in understanding the long-term treatment
effects of medications in pediatric populations are thoroughly
reviewed, including not only maintenance studies that consider the
durability of efficacy but also clinical trials of greater duration
designed to specifically evaluate long-term safety. In addition,
recent studies of combination therapies are examined, helping
clinicians better understand how to treat the complicated patients
that arrive every day at a prescribing clinician's office. Finally,
because research designs now include a broader base of patient
populations to make the data more applicable to everyday clinical
practice, the book focuses on head-to-head studies with multiple
active comparators. The book offers clinicians comprehensive,
accessible information and boasts a multitude of helpful features:
* The book is organized by diagnosis instead of agent class. This
makes it a true clinical desktop reference that allows clinicians
to quickly and efficiently search treatment options and the
evidence base on a case-by-case basis. DSM-5 criteria and
information on comorbidities are also included.* The American
Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Practice Parameters are
integrated into the discussion, where applicable, in support of
standard of care.* The book has been updated to include the latest
research at the time of publication.* A new chapter has been added
to address eating disorders, an area where psychopharmacological
research that may apply to children and adolescents is now being
pursued.* Useful features to help the reader understand and retain
the material include clinical summary points, easy to read tables,
and current and carefully vetted references. The Clinical Manual of
Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, Third Edition, is an
indispensable guide to the substantive research that has been done
in nearly every area of pediatric psychopharmacology, as well as
the major improvements that have been made to the evidence-based
practice of treating youths with psychiatric illness.
