“This is a really useful book and covers just about everything you want to know about ADHD.”  (Young Minds Magazine, 21 March 2013)"The book is a masterful summary of the extant literature on ADHD, sophisticated enough for professionals and accessible enough for parents and other laypeople. It deserves to be read by anyone with a personal or professional interest in ADHD. Parents should read it to become inoculated against the many myths and simplistic ideas about ADHD that they will encounter. Professionals should read it as a stimulus to examining recent and classic primary source documents on the topic. For either audience, the subtitle's description of the book as a "guide" is true in the fullest sense of the word." (Metapsychology, 9 August 2011)"Overall the book provides an excellent platform, and the impressive list of references means that the reader can explore much farther in their area of interest." (The Psychologist, 1 July 2011)
