This review is from: ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): Achieving Success in School and in Life (Paperback)

This book is concise and easy to understand for the layman, yet in-depth for the professional. The diversity of the contributors, and their differing opinions on treatment is interesting and rewarding reading.
