People who wouldn't dream of blaming parents for a child's asthma or diabetes are often quick to blame bad parenting for a child's hyperactivity, depression, or school phobia. The parents, in turn, often blame their children, believing that they're lazy or rebellious. Even worse, the children with these psychological problems often blame themselves, convinced that they're just bad kids. In It's Nobody's Fault, esteemed child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Harold S. Kopelwicz at last puts an end to this pointless--and erroneous--cycle of blame and helps parents get the help they need for their troubled children. Written in an easy, anecdotal style and filled with fascinating stories of real children and their parents, It's Nobody's Fault is an indispensable guide for anyone who lives or works with children who need help.

Although you didn't cause your child's problem, you are responsible for getting him or her the right help - and this book will show you how. It's Nobody's Fault takes you step-by-step through the process of pinpointing the nature of your child's problem, from getting the right evaluation through the latest information on diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Dr. Koplewicz discusses in depth thirteen of the most common mental disorders in children and gives parents a concrete plan of action to work effectively not just with mental health professionals but also with the other adults in their children's lives - teachers, principals, other parents - to really make a difference.
Most important, Dr. Koplewicz offers a groundbreaking discussion of the most misunderstood issue in the treatment of mental disorders: the use of medication. Too many parents have avoided the most effective treatments for their children because they fear the social stigma and mistakenly believe the rampant misinformation surrounding medication. Dr. Koplewicz dispels the myths, describes the latest medications that have achieved dramatic results in treating many of these conditions, and helps parents understand their proper role as part of the treatment. Medicine isn't always the answer, as Dr. Koplewicz makes clear, but when a child suffers from the two D's - distress and dysfunction - medication is often vital to a child's health and well-being.
