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.

• Provides the most complete and up-to-date summary of the practical use of psychotropic drugs in children and adolescents, written with the authority of evidence and the guidance of clinical wisdom
• Bursting with new illustrations, more extensive discussions of the studies supporting the medications, dosing guidelines and new references all presented in the same templated format, fully indexed and cross-referenced for ease of navigation and rapid access to data
• Presented in a template format, fully indexed, and cross-referenced for ease of navigation
