Feldman); (2) "Disruptive Behavioral Disorders" (J. Lock); (3) "Substance Use and Abuse" (R. A. Powers, R. Matano); (4) "Depression" (J. Lock); (5) "Anxiety Disorders" (C. Hayward, J. A. Collier); (6) "Eating Disorders" (M. J. Sanders); (7) "Chronic Illness and Somatization" (J. A. Collier); (8) "Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders" (M. Thienemann, R. J.
