5.0 out of 5 stars Make informed decisions, June 25, 2000

This review is from: Born To Be Wild: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; Alcoholism and Addiction (Paperback)

Enough books on ADHD try to comfort parents and hold their hands. Any reader with fair analitical ability will understand and gain useful insight to the comorbid symptoms of ADHD from this book. Based on solid research, this book simply makes sense to me. I am not a psychologist, just a parent devoted to diagnosing and helping my child in a sea of conficlting information on ADHD. If you plan on following the advice of any professional regarding you or you child's ADHD, this book will help you ask informed questions and be observant of co-existing behavioral patterns that do appear in many others with the disorder. When a book founded in years of research supports my observations in the real world, I pay attention to it and add it to my arsenal of knowledge to help me help my child reach his vast potential.

This review is from: Born To Be Wild: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; Alcoholism and Addiction (Paperback)

Catchy titles and scare tactics are a way to grab the attention of concerned parents, but reduce the quality of this book to the level of a poorly researched popular magazine article. There are more than enough books of this type available; what parents need are well balanced, carefully thought out, science based, and well referenced books that offer guidance and measured recommendations. Suggest that people concerned with ADDHD look elsewhere for help.
