Editorial Reviews

Review

'Praise for the previous edition: "A comprehensive, multi-informant workbook suggesting the need for cooperation among individuals to evaluate data from several sources...This manual provides excellent tools that, in my opinion, could be extremely valuable to those persons involved in diagnostic work as well as those persons involved in planning, implementing, and managing interventions.' - Psychological Examiner

'The format of the workbook allows for convenience through the arrangement of norms and corresponding instruments. Each section is self explanatory and allows for questions to be answered before the instrument is used. A wide variety of instruments allows for evaluation to flow into program planning and management. The many aspects of this process are covered and suggestions for implementation provided. This creates an opportunity for the workbook to be used by diagnosticians, as well as educators and parents.' - Julie A. Schuckman, Director of Special Services, Poplar Bluff Public Schools

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Text on ADHD, October 4, 2000
By 
This review is from: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment, Second Edition (Hardcover)
The first edition of "Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder : A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment" was generally considered a must-read for all Clinical Child Psychologists and other practitioners who worked or planned to work with children with behavior disorders. The second edition is even better, as it should be. This edition clarifies how we have learned much about ADHD in the past decade. The book's coverage of relevant literature, findings, and data-based theories and treatments makes it one of the very best books on ADHD available on the market. I recommend it to all who plan to work with behavior-disordered children. Also, this text should be in most public libraries to allow parents the opportunity to read accurate writings about ADHD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Assessing Co-Morbid Emotional Factors, July 14, 2000
Dr. Barkley has contributed an extremely beneficial companion to his handbook for diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. The rating forms are very useful for the clinician assessing ADHD and comorbid features. Dr. Barkley's discussion offers extremely helpful guidelines for assessment and treatment of ADHD and various emotional-behavioral issues which may accompany or mimic ADHD. This volume is a must for any practicing health or educational professional involved in the assessment and treatment of ADHD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative reference text for study, review and treatment, February 8, 2000
This review is from: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment, Second Edition (Hardcover)
I found this text to be a most useful resource for ADHD from a bio-psychosocial point of view. It included an exhaustive literature review of studies, of both children and adults, with ADHD. I also appreciated the discussions on cause/ effect relationships. I highly recommend this text for Physicians and Psychologists/Therapists working together and being on the same page with patients suffering from and living with ADHD.

First Sentence:
Although one of the first references to a hyperactive or ADHD child (Fidgety Phil) seems to have been in the poems of the German physician Heinrich Hoffman in 1865, credit is typically awarded to George Still and Alfred Tredgold as being the first authors to focus serious scientific attention on the behavioral condition in children that most closely approximates what is today known as ADHD. Read the first page
