Abstract: In this paper we use the beautiful formula of Faa di Bruno for the $n$th derivative of composition of two functions to obtain the generalized Schwarz-Pick estimates. By means of those estimates we show that the hyperbolic derivative of an analytic self-map of the unit disk is Lipschitz with respect to the pseudohyperbolic metric.
