about the first edition:
`An excellent, very accessible handbook, written and edited by
major authorities in the area of pediatric psychopharmacology.'
Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal
`Well summarized and referenced ... excellent.'
American Journal of Psychiatry
` Thorough, entirely up-to-date, balanced and humane ... an
excellent source of information ... should become the
standard.'
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
`An easy reference for treating difficult or infrequently seen
cases.'
Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry
`The book is clearly written. The style is confident, `punchy', and
surprisingly uniform for a multi-author book, which indicates good
editing. I believe the book is best used as a `ready reference'.
The consistent format across chapters, abundant subheadings and
concise prose mean that it does not take long for the reader to
find what he or she is looking for. ... this book can be
confidently recommended to all health professionals who prescribe
psychotropics to young people: child psychiatrists and child
psychiatry trainees, `behavioral paediatricians', general
psychiatrists whose practice may include youngs persons, and many
general practitioners. All medical libraries and pharmacies should
also have a copy.'
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry, 33:6 (1996)
