In reply to APs in kids and teens (NY Times), posted by pseudoname on June 7, 2006, at 21:44:59
NPR’s “Science Friday” today (Jun 9 2006) will discuss the New York Times article about increasing antipsychotic use in children and teenagers. The guests will be social work prof David Cohen on the “THIS IS BAD” side and psychiatry prof Jeffrey Lieberman on the “No it’s GOOD” side.
It’s a live, call-in show. Call 1-800-989-8255 during the segment or email comments in advance to scifri@sciencefriday.com. This will apparently be the first segment, beginning at 2:08 PM Eastern in the U.S. Listen live online, find a station, or later get the archived version at http://www.sciencefriday.com/pages/2006/Jun/hour1_060906.html
Cohen co-wrote the Public Library of Science article “Do Antidepressants Cure or Create Abnormal Brain States?” in the current PLoS Medicine (v7 n3): http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10%2E1371%2Fjournal%2Epmed%2E0030240
Lieberman is chair of psychiatry at Columbia. His research supports the use of the newer atypical APs over the older APs. http://nyspi.org/kolb/News%20Releases/liebermanstudy.htm
