Review
"Captioned photos and diagrams illustrate each book and both volumes have source notes, a list of organizations and Web sites, and a bibliography that will be useful for report writers, debaters, and parents of children diagnosed with these disfunctions."
-- Booklist (October 2001) (Booklist 20030301)
"These books provide the kind of information that a student may need either for an assigned research project or for personal enlightment and assistance. Highly Recommended"
--Library Media Connection, October 2005 (Library Media Connection 20020501)
"Volumes explore causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. New research techniques are described in detail. Each disorder is fully explained in non-technical terms."
-- School Library Journal (March 2003) (School Library Journal 20011001)
"Overall, the information...is more thorough and accessible than that in many books. Well-done and intuitively organized."
-- School Library Journal (May 2002) (School Library Journal 20010901)
"Primary-source quotes personalize the experiences. A solid addition to the mental-health sections."
-- School Library Journal (October 2001) (School Library Journal 20010401)
"Sheen covers its history, diagnosis, treatment, and solutions to some everyday problems associated with it. Black-and-white captioned photos are scattered throughout. A solid choice for students with a person interest or research requests on the topic."
-- School Library Journal (September 2001) (School Library Journal )
"Factful and useful books that approach their subjects as puzzlers for which great strides have been made in the last few decades in terms of diagnosis and treatment."
