I've practiced adult psychiatry for several years but picked this up when I took a contract working with adolescents. It's a good refresher on starting doses and typical dose ranges for children. I don't look at it much anymore but for the first few weeks working with kids I used it a fair amount when trying to decide what doses to start with. I can imagine it would be a useful resource for primary care providers trying to treat children with mental illness.
