Unraveling the ADD/ADHD Fiasco by David B Stein

Unraveling the ADD/ADHD Fiasco by David B Stein

The number of children being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD has skyrocketed, along with prescriptions for Ritalin and other powerful amphetamine drugs to treat these problem children. This pharmaceutical answer to a behavioral disorder is one of the most controversial subjects in parenting today, and Dr. David Stein offers parents a safe, foolproof alternative.Challenging the disease theories of ADD/ADHD, Stein discusses the conditions in modern society and the American family that cause so many children to hate schoolwork and behave disrespectfully to all authority figures. Rejecting the pill solution, he presents a truly effective parent training program called the Caregivers' Skills Program that helps children learn appropriate behavioral and cognitive skills permanently, without drug therapy. Parents are trained to teach their children to love reading and learning, and to respect authority at home and at school. Stein presents case studies from his own highly successful practice that demonstrate the remarkably effective CSP that can help parents, educators, physicians and therapists treat today's problem children.

David B. Stein is professor of psychology at Longwood University, a Virginia state school. He is the author of four books on medication-free cognitive behavioral treatments of children and teens, one of which was a national bestseller. He is a consultant with the Virginia State Police, serving as a team member for hostage and crisis negotiations, threat assessment, critical response and debriefing, psychological profiling, and primary investigations.
