Understanding, Diagnosing, and Treating ADHD in Children and Adolescents Summary

Understanding, Diagnosing, and Treating ADHD in Children and Adolescents: An Integrative Approach by James Incorvaia

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. If doctors, therapists, and school personnel were to have only one resource to consult to fully understand AD/HD the problems and the solutions this collection of authoritative perspectives assembled by Drs. Incorvaia, Mark-Goldstein, and Tessmer should be it.

Understanding, Diagnosing, and Treating ADHD in Children and Adolescents Reviews

The three editors cast a wide net into the sea of inquiry regarding child and adolescent AD/HD. Their catch is a bounty of essays from a broad array of perspectives. They serve up a volume of important and relevant discussions that is diverse yet balanced and well integrated. The eighteen chapters cover a general review and introduction to the field, methods, and instruments for diagnosis and assessment, various treatment approaches, co-existing learning disabilities, and current and future trends in research and practice. The list of contributors includes seasoned clinicians who are expert scholars of child and adolescent AD/HD. The reader with a taste for a deeper and more eclectic flavor will enjoy this feast. -- H. Joseph Horacek, M.D., president and medical director, Center for Neurological Health in Learning, Charlotte, North Carolina
This fascinating collection of chapters covers a range of topics as diverse as the challenges that children with attentional problems face for themselves and offer to those who care for them. The contributors range from world-renowned researchers to experienced clinicians who each provide a unique and important perspective on this complex topic. The book is a timely and helpful compilation that will be useful to teachers, clinicians, and researchers interested in a cutting-edge, comprehensive approach to evaluation and treatment. -- Danial J. Siegel, M.D., UCLA School of Medicine
