Beskrivning
The completely updated and expanded new edition of this well-established text incorporates DSM-5 changes as well as other new developments. The all-in-one guide covers the whole range of often co-existing neuro-behavioral disorders in children – from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety, to autism spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, Tourette's, sensory integration problems, and executive dysfunction. A completely revised chapter on the autism spectrum by Tony Attwood explains not only new understanding in the field, but the new diagnostic criteria, and the anticipated usage of the term 'Asperger's Syndrome'. Dr. Kutscher provides accessible information on causes, symptoms, interactions with other conditions, and treatments. He presents effective behavioral strategies for responding to children who display traits of these disorders – whether at home, at school, or in other settings – along with case vignettes and practical tips. Finally, a chapter on the role of medications summarizes current knowledge.The author's sympathetic yet upbeat approach and skillful explanations of the inner world of children in the syndrome mix make this an invaluable companion for parents, teachers, professionals, and anyone else who needs fast and to-the-point advice on children with special needs.

Recensioner i media

This is the first book anyone attempting to understand a child with these disorders should read. Dr. Kutscher takes complex medical information and transforms it into a reader friendly format for the non-professional. He has taken so much great information by so many renowned professionals in the field and combined it with his own understanding and empathy in a truly unique book. His examples are so true to life it brought back many memories. I only wish I had his list of tips and strategies 30 years ago when we started our journey with ADHD. I will be recommending this book to parents, educators and anyone else wishing to help these children lead happy and successful lives.
