Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children and Adults

Along with evidence-based and eminently practical advice, Rickel (psychology, Cornell U.) and Brown (public health, psychology and pediatrics, Temple U.) review current literature, focusing on the etiology and symptom presentations. They describe the features of ADHD, including the groups most likely to develop it, theories and models, diagnosis and treatment indications, and treatments ranging from pharmacological and behavioral interventions to psychological issues with adults and interventions with teachers and schools, along with social skills training and alternative treatments. They also give case vignettes, references, and lists of tools and resources for practitioners, students, patients and families. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
