Suffer the Children: The Case against Labeling and Medicating and an Effective A

Description: Suffer the Children by Marilyn Wedge Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A persuasive rejection of mainstream child psychiatry that guides parents to understand their childs behavioral problems without stigmatizing diagnoses. Publisher Description With more than four million American children diagnosed with ADHD and other psychiatric disorders, taking a child to a psychiatrist is as common as taking them to soccer practice. But, disturbingly, a great number of children experience dangerous emotional and physical side effects from psychotropic medications. Where can parents who are eager to avoid shaming labels and drugs turn when their child exhibits disturbing behavior? Suffer the Children presents a much-needed alternative: child-focused family therapy. A family therapist for over twenty years, Marilyn Wedge shares the stories of her patients. Wedge presents creative strategies that flow from viewing childrens symptoms not as biologically determined "disorders" but as responses to relationships in their lives that can be altered with the help of a therapist. Instructive, illuminating, and uplifting, Suffer the Children radically reframes how we as parents, as health professionals, and as a society can respond to problems of childhood in a considerate and respectful fashion. Author Biography Marilyn Wedge is a family therapist in private practice for thirty years. She has a PhD from the University of Chicago and writes blogs for the Huffington Post and Psychology Today. She lives in Oak Park, California.
