This book offers a warning that American children are receiving
increased chemical treatment from psychiatrists and provides a
primer on how to improve the emotional health of kids without
drugs. "Maelstrom" is an apt metaphor for the inexorable
deterioration many children experience inside the mental health
system. Kids Caught in the Psychiatric Maelstrom: How Pathological
Labels and "Therapeutic" Drugs Hurt Children and Families
challenges current treatment practices and addresses the critically
important issue of excessive prescribing of psychiatric medications
to children. This encyclopedic work reveals "inside the system"
information, emphasizing the theoretical divide at the root of the
controversy over diagnosis and treatment. It explains how the
1990s, "decade of the brain" replaced talk therapy with biochemical
treatments, leading to the hegemony of the pharmaceutical
industry—and subsequently the massive drugging of children.
Author Elizabeth E. Root details common diagnoses and treatments,
explaining up-to-date brain research, with some surprising
interpretations, and noting dangerous national precedents to mental
screening. Finally, she illuminates pathways toward solutions and
healthier families, sharing nonpsychiatric explanations for the
nation's increase of troubled children and the rationale and
research supporting non-drug, alternative approaches to childhood
distress.

The second poetry collection by Ed Roberts, this book was
originally distributed in PDF format burned onto CD's and shipped
to at least five different countries. It along with Roberts's 3
other poetry collections were listed in the Sony E-book library.
This was the first of his books to contain a special poem at the
back of the book after which are posted several pages of comments
people have left in the feedback section of his poetry site. These
alone tell a powerful story of the impact that Roberts's poetry has
had on the lives of people.
