Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

"The standard reference in the field....Barkley's...theory of ADHD brings together his own vast knowledge of ADHD and other areas--developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental neuropsychology, then bridges the deficits commonly found in ADHD with the broad area of executive functions. He is quite aware that he is breaking new ground, and that there is speculation in his formulations. But we are grateful he has put his good mind to developing this area. Having a theory to develop and test is a welcome development in this field....Because of Barkley's focus on executive functions, he is likely to bring some clarity to this often murky area....This book should be on every neuropsychologist's shelf. It gives the most complete up-to-date review of known research on ADHD."--"Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology" "A much needed and anticipated addition to any practicing clinician's library....The book is very well written, well edited, and well referenced....This new edition is a compelling update to a vast and ever-growing literature on a very prevalent, potentially devastating disorder. We highly recommend this book to clinicians and investigators in mental health."--"Journal of Clinical Psychiatry" "I have found this workbook invaluable in the past and it has served as my transitional object in the ADHD clinic. I have no hesitation in recommending it to all clinicians who see children, adolescents and adults with ADHD."--"Journal of Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry" "Timely and important in that attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common reasons for referral to child and family behavior therapists and clinics in the UnitedStates and elsewhere....Barkley's book distinguishes itself in its coverage of the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, reviewing issues in the assessment and ADHD, assessment goals and the information needed to conduct a valid and comprehensive interview. The companion book also provides assessment scales and questionnaires including a very comprehensive listing of differential diagnostic tips for distinguishing ADHD from other psychiatric disorders. He provides detailed parent questionnaires for assessing child behavior problems and he discusses the most widely used child behavior rating scales....Barkley also presents a clinical workbook that has significant clinical utility. He provides forms for use with children, adolescents and adults and provides comprehensive instructions for completing his checklists and questionnaires....Inclusive and thorough....One notable feature of Barkley's book is the extensive reference section at the end of each chapter. It is markedly inclusive and attests to the thoroughness with which he approached this revision....It is an excellent text for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and physicians seeking a current resource on ADHD. It would be a good addition to any graduate psychology course on child or adult psychopathology where ADHD is an emphasized disorder."--"Child and Family Behavior Therapy""There are few places where the wisdom of science and careful practice are articulated as well as in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment....[This workbook] is a nice companion to the handbook, and includes most of the forms necessary to supplement the model clinical evaluation and treatment program for individualswith ADHD. It is a 'must' for the clinician who would like to follow the guidance of Barkley and his colleagues."--"Psychiatric Times" (on the previous edition) "Both seasoned and newly minted clinicians will find this book beneficial. The utility of this book as a standalone teaching tool cannot be overstated and graduate students and residents will also benefit. Clients will benefit from the numerous handouts and supplementary material that their clinicians wil
