Study Guide to Pediatric Psychopharmacology

Study Guide to Pediatric Psychopharmacology is a question-and-answer companion that allows readers to evaluate their mastery of the subject matter as they progress through the Textbook of Pediatric Psychopharmacology. The study guide is made up of approximately 265 questions divided across 70 chapters that correspond to sections in the textbook. Questions are followed by a section with answers and explanations that reference relevant text in the textbook. Answers are accompanied by a discussion that not only addresses the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct. The study guide's companion, the Textbook of Pediatric Psychopharmacology, covers the molecular pharmacology of every major medication class, the psychosocial and cultural factors that may shape clinical outcomes, and evidence-based guidance on assessment and treatment across the full range of pediatric psychiatric presentations. It also looks to the future, covering emerging treatments such as psychedelics and endocannabinoid modulators, and dedicates time to issues related to treatment of medically ill children, adolescents with intellectual disability, and other unique populations often overlooked by standard texts.
