This extensively revised second edition provides a user-friendly step-by-step manual on the
range of psychotropic medications prescribed for children and adolescents by clinicians and
nurse practitioners. Boasting nearly double the medications of the first edition it features
new sections related to pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics in children and adolescents
alongside algorithms for addressing frequently encountered disorders such as anxiety
depression bipolar disorder ADHD and OCD. Based on the best-seller Stahl's Prescriber's
Guide and using a full-color template-driven navigation system it combines evidence-based
data with clinically informed guidance to support prescribers in the field. Each drug is
presented in the same classic design format with illustrated guidance on dosing titration and
pharmacogenetics metabolism. Color-coded sections distinguish clearly the information presented
on therapeutics safety and tolerability dosing and use what to expect and the art of
psychopharmacology and are followed by updated and new key references. A must-have guide for
all mental health professionals.
