"Child Psychopharmacology tackles the ongoing debate over the use of psychotropic medication on child and adolescent disorders. This book reviews the most up-to-date research on the topic and offers practical guidance for treating patients. Some points of interest in this volume include: *Discussion of exciting new evidence that OCD may be secondary to betahemolytic streptococcal infections. *Thorough coverage of both the benefits and side effects of antipsychotic medications including recent research on clozapine and olanzapine. *Thoughtful academic treatment of the effectiveness of antidepressant medications, such as fluxetine, for treating adolescent bulimia."--(www.appi.org)
