    AbstractThe psychotropic treatment of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders is becoming increasingly common. In many cases, its clinical use outstrips its demonstrated scientific validity. Pharmacologic compounds need to be properly utilized, effectively prescribed, and appropriately monitored. This entails a detailed knowledge of various psychotropic agents, their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and a high degree of psychotherapeutic sophistication in terms of the patient-family-physician relationship.
