Understanding, Diagnosing, and Treating ADHD in Children and Adolescents An Integrative Approach

When it comes to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, which is too often a cavalier diagnosis of first resort, clinicians can benefit from the range of responsible views on assessment and treatment proffered here as pieces of the puzzle. The subtleties of diagnosing AD/HD and the repertoire of approaches for intervention, as well as techniques for dealing with commonly coexisting learning disabilities, are the focus of this encyclopedic reference that combines respect for issues relating to brain physiology, pharmacology, psychodynamics, family systems, and education.Estimates of the incidence of AD/HD range upward from 3.5 million children, six boys to every girl; some 1.3 million cases are medicated with Ritalin. If doctors, therapists, and school personnel were to have only one resource to consult toward fully understanding AD/HD — the problems and the solutions — the collection of authoritative perspectives assembled by Drs. Incorvaia, Mark, and Tessmer should be it.
