About the Book

This book critically examines the current U.S. mental health treatment of children and adolescents, with a focus on diagnoses and use of psychotropic medications to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Based on decades of research and author Robert M. Foltz's more than 35-year career as a clinical psychologist, No Method to the Madness thoroughly reviews the research on diagnostic processes; medications, including stimulants for ADHD, antidepressants, and antipsychotics; and the powerful role that traumatic experiences can play. Designed for clinicians, mental health students, policy makers, and parents, this book offers integrative counseling strategies and suggestions as alternatives to the first-resort medical model to optimize outcomes for our youth and families.
