一双袜子

一个晴朗的下午,我漫步第五大街,忽然想起需要买双袜子。为何我只想买一双,原因已无关紧要了。我拐进跃入眼帘的第一家袜店,一个不到17岁的男售货员迎上来,说:“先生,您要买什么?”“我想买双短袜。”他双眸闪闪发光,声音饱含激情。“您知道您进的可是世上最好的袜店吗?”我倒并未意识到这点,我是偶然进来的。“随我来,”男孩欣喜若狂地说。我跟着他到了店的后部。他开始从货架上拽下一个接一个箱子,向我展示里面的袜子,让我欣赏。

Psychopharmacology in the schools

Psychotropic medications prescribed frequently to children and adolescents for the treatment of anxiety, depression, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are reviewed. Pediatric pharmacological options based on double‐blind, randomized studies are examined. We advocate that psychotropic medications be used only in conjunction with psychosocial interventions and that collaborative practices between medical and school professionals are essential. School psychologists play a critical role in medication management by monitoring behavioral, social‐emotional, and academic outcomes, coordinating the intervention team, interfacing with the prescribing physician, and providing psychosocial interventions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
