,PRESCRIBER’S GUIDE – CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTSStahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology
Child and adolescent psychopharmacology is a rapidly growing field with psychotropic medications used
widely in the treatment of this patient group. However, psychopharmacological treatment guidelines used for
adults cannot simply be applied for children or adolescents, thus presenting clinicians and nurse practitioners
with assessment and prescribing challenges. Based on the world’s best-selling resource Stahl’s Prescriber’s
Guide, this new book provides a user-friendly step-by-step manual on the range of psychotropic drugs
prescribed for children and adolescents by clinicians and nurse practitioners.
Reviewed by expert Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, the medications are presented in the same design
format in order to facilitate rapid access to information. Each drug is broken down into a number of sections,
each designated by a unique color background thereby clearly distinguishing information presented on
therapeutics, safety and tolerability, dosing and use, what to expect, special populations, and the art of
psychopharmacology, and followed by key references.
Stephen M. Stahl is Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego and Honorary
Visiting Senior Fellow in Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge, UK. He has conducted various research
projects awarded by the National Institute of Mental Health, Veterans Affairs, and the pharmaceutical
industry. Author of more than 500 articles and chapters, Dr Stahl is also the author of the bestseller Stahl’s
Essential Psychopharmacology.
