About the book
"Drugging our children documents the impact of antipsychotics on children's health, spotlights the historical and cultural factors that have contributed to this dangerous trend, and exposes the role of the pharmaceutical industry in creating a child market for antipsychotics. The ethical and legal dimensions of the surge in antipsychotic prescriptions for children are also examined. The book explores the rights and responsibilities of non-MD mental health practitioners such as psychologists to intervene if they believe that a child in their care is being harmed by antipsychotics. Additionally, the work considers what legal recourse parents have if their child has been harmed by psychiatric medication--and the risks involved if they refuse to medicate their child. Drugging our children Offers evidence-based interventions for children with emotional and behavioral challenges without recourse to antipsychotics, and it addresses the power of family and communities to foster and protect children's psychological development before problems arise or become entrenched"--Provided by publisher.
