James G. Waxmonsky Professor of Psychiatry

Book Title: Evidence-Based Psychotherapies for Children and Adolescents

Author: John R. Weisz (Editor) and Alan E. Kazdin (Editor)

Selection Statement:

I selected this book because I believe that every psychiatrist working with children in mental health settings benefits from at least a basic knowledge of behavioral interventions for commonly occurring problems. We all fall back to what we know and I have found that having a knowledge base that spans both pharmacological and psychosocial treatments is beneficial. As a psychiatrist, my training in behavioral therapies has allowed me to appropriately frame the benefits and limitations of psychiatric medications.
