NEW 2015 BOOK: The Science and Pseudoscience of Children's Mental Health: Cutting Edge Research and Treatment (Childhood in America) by Sharna Olfma

This book explains how studies in brain development and epigenetics―the inextricable interplay of genes and environments―have led to breakthroughs in the understanding of children's psychological disturbances and serve to discredit the scientifically unsupported "chemical imbalance theory" of mental illness.

REVIEW: "This very timely volume, on an exceptionally important topic in the lives of children and families, is a frank and thought-provoking consideration of the issues." - Frank Farley, PhD, Former President, American Psychological Association

This and other acclaim made it difficult for establishment psychiatry to ignore him, so he was invited to speak at many of their bastions, including a Harvard Medical School Grand Rounds at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he faced hostile audiences. However, Whitaker's sincerity about seeking better treatment options, his command of the facts and his lack of anti-drug dogma compelled all but the most dogmatic psychiatrists to take him seriously.

Too busy for this today.
