Reviews

<p> This is a book that has the potential to be helpful to a wide range of clinical who treat psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. But perhaps what is most valuble about this book is the fact that it offers medication management strategies that are based on the authors' experience are wisdom. With some effort and a good library, facts, studies and general knowledge are relatively easy to obtain. However, to be able have the equivalent of immediate supervision from these very experienced clinicians is truly a special contribution to this filed. -- Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology , 2009


This is an excellent and readable introductory book on brain stimulation therapies for clinicians. All clinicians who treat individuals with serious psychiatric disorders should be familiar with this information. I highly recommend this book. * Doody Enterprises, Inc. * This is a book that has the potential to be helpful to a wide range of clinical who treat psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents.
