Abstract:	This new, thoroughly revised second edition of the Clinical Manual of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology is designed to help clinicians provide state-of-the-art care to their patients and keep up to date with the most recent research. It reflects the reality that child and adolescent psychiatry in general, and psychopharmacology in particular, are rapidly progressing fields that are advancing in multiple directions at once. Because pharmacokinetic processes in children and adolescents can vary significantly from those in adults, it is critical that clinicians have access to the latest information on indications, medications, dosages, interactions, side effects, and off-label use for the pediatric patient population. ... Clinicians who bought the first edition will want this revision, as will those just venturing into the pharmacological treatment of children and adolescents. Utterly current, comprehensive, and compelling, the Clinical Manual of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, Second Edition, reflects the major steps that have been made toward improving the evidence-based practice of treating young people with psychiatric illness.
