"This book is remarkable in its ability to communicate essential,
factual, and practical information in a concise and easily readable
manner. Each chapter manages to succinctly provide the reader with
information about diagnostic considerations, clinical signs and
symptoms of the disorder, and the most effective and up-to-date
approaches to treatment. I would recommend this book for students,
professionals, individuals who live with the disorders, and their
families/caregivers."—Joseph E. Comaty, PhD, MP, clinical

"The fourth edition of Child and Adolescent Clinical
Psychopharmacology Made Simple presents pediatric disorders and
their treatments in a highly readable and well-organized style. Not
only are agents formally approved for pediatric use covered, but so
are the many drugs frequently prescribed 'off-label.' Numerous tips
are also included on how pediatric management both overlaps and
differs from adults. A must-read for those learning to treat
children and adolescents."—Stephen Stahl, MD, PhD, DSc, professor
of psychiatry at the University of California, Riverside; honorary
fellow of the University of Cambridge; and author of more than 500
scientific papers and sixty books on psychiatry and

"This book offers a clear review of the medications used to treat
the most common psychiatric conditions in children. The ample use
of tables and boxes makes information such as dosing and common
side effects readily accessible. Additional information about
over-the-counter agents and dietary supplements—as well as patient
information sheets about specific classes of medications—provides
an added benefit of great practical value to both parents and early
career professionals."—Jacobus Donders, PhD, ABPP, chief
