Excerpt

This chapter focuses on the psychopharmacology of psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. However, nonpharmacological treatment interventions are also an important component of a child's psychiatric care. Individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and family therapy may improve clinical outcome. Working closely with school personnel is another ingredient in the treatment of a child with a psychiatric disorder. Case management for the child and support for the family are other facets of treatment for children.
