I highly recommend the book, _Suffer the Children_ by Marilyn Wedge. It
was one of the most disturbing as well as inspiring books I have read
this year--disturbing as I had no idea how common it has become for
psychiatrists to prescribe very strong sedatives for young children with
behavioral disorders; inspiring because Ms. Wedge as a life-long
experience at effectively working with families to significantly improve
the family dynamics and therefore, the child's behaviors, sans
medication. She couches her technique in terms such as "humanistic,"
and Jungian," but, in reality, she is using fairly straightforward
cognitive-behavioral strategies.
I encourage you all to at least check out her home page:

Hi all,
I haven't read this article yet but, because of the recent discussion about the
internal validity of clinical trials, I thought I would make y'all aware of it

Are Psychiatric Medications Making Us Sicker?
By John Horgan
Several generations of psychotropic drugs have proven to be of little or no benefit, and may be doing considerable harm.

I haven't been terribly impressed with some previous articles/books by John
Horgan, but this one still might be useful for class discussions, etc.
Best,
Jeff
