Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology will help those who work with children develop better skills related to diagnosing psychiatric disorders, knowing which disorders are considered to be medication responsive, improving abilities to collaborate with psychiatrists and primary care physicians, and evaluating the outcome of pharmacologic treatments.

Internationally recognized author (Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Therapists), and educator at Alliant University (California School of Professional Psychology), Dr. John Preston's engaging presentation style ensures that you will gain greater insight into the current science and walk away with valuable knowledge which can be applied in your practice.

Child Sexual Exploitation and the Forensic Interview will provide you with an experienced look at the investigation of sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adolescents.
