Psychiatr Clin North Am. 1992 Mar;15(1):41-67.

Abstract

Psychopharmacologic agents may offer potentially effective treatment of child and adolescent anxiety disorders. Much further research, however, remains to be done to determine medication specificity, dosages, duration of treatment, and the optimal relationship between pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies.
