Editorial Reviews

Review

". . . invaluable to a broad range of clinicians, including adult psychiatrists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, pediatricians, gerontologists, internists, and neurologists." -- Glen R. Elliott, Ph.D., M.D., Director, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, UCSF

"At last, a book that sets the record straight! Parents and professionals who treat children and adolescents with ADHD have been barraged in recent years by a multitude of conflicting public opions on the appropriate use of Ritalin, as an adjunct to the total management of ADHD. What has been missing is one complete up-to-date text specifically on this medication . . . one which is beyond reproach. Given the high caliber of the many contributors, this comprehensive and exhaustive book will be a great service to many." -- Sandra F. Thomas, R.N., former President, CH.A.D.D.

"Finally, we have an authoritative, comprehensive statement about Ritalin and it proper use for patients." -- Herbert Pardes, M.D., Dean, Faculty of Medicine, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons

"Ritalin: Theory and Practice" is a comprehensive and well written resource that every clinician working with children should have." -- Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D., Director, New York University Child Study Center, and Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology

"The definitive book on methylphenidate, now in a new edition. The top researchers summarize leading-edge findings on the use of psychostimulants in clinical practice. . . . A monument to the rapid current progress of child psychoparhacology and general medicine." -- Charles Popper, M.D. Harvard Medical School
