As a long-time teacher of medical students, psychology and psychiatry trainees, I have always placed Dr. Shatkin's book at the top of my list as a resource. He writes like he speaks: clear, succinct, relevant and evidence-based. My pediatric colleagues have also commented on what a wonderful talent Dr. Shatkin has for taking complex material and distilling it into content that is readable and relevant. Kudos to Dr. Shatkin for leading the way in child psychiatry education!
