        			&quot;This is the book I&apos;ve turned to for the past 15 years to share with parents, and the fourth edition makes a great resource even better. Understanding psychiatric medications can be confusing, but reading this book is like having the authors in the room to explain their thinking process as well as the most up-to-date research in the field. Straight Talk answers parents&apos; most common questions with empathy and wisdom. It tells you exactly what you need to know about the benefits, potential downsides, and what to expect.&quot;--Ellen Braaten, PhD, coauthor of Bright Kids Who Can&apos;t Keep Up &quot;The fourth edition of Straight Talk gives parents a wealth of up-to-date information about medications prescribed for kids&apos; emotional and behavioral problems. The authors are superb, empathic clinicians who know what you are going through and help you understand and weigh the risks and benefits.&quot;--Thomas E. Brown, PhD, author of A New Understanding of ADHD in Children and Adults &quot;Drs. Wilens and Hammerness are international leaders in pediatric psychopharmacology. Comprehensive, balanced, and easy to read, this book is outstanding. The fourth edition keeps up with the rapidly growing research base. You get the information you need to ask the right questions so your child will receive the best care possible.&quot;--Melissa P. DelBello, MD, MS, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine &quot;The fourth edition of this classic book is striking in its comprehensiveness, depth, and practicality. For a book that is so well grounded in current science, it has a remarkable clarity that parents will appreciate.&quot;--Thomas J. Power, PhD, ABPP, Director, Center for Management of ADHD, The Children&#x2019;s Hospital of Philadelphia
