"This text reviews the literature on comorbidity in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and how it affects clinical decisions. It identifies problems of differential diagnosis and systematically reviews the evidence for specific patterns of psychopharmacological treatment, as well as family history, for ADHD that is comorbid with various disorders. It also identifies the current controversies and disagreements in the field. On all these counts, the book does a superb job. The overviews are lucid and make for easy enjoyable reading. The discussions of differential diagnosis and medication management are sensible, provide useful clinical suggestions, and will be of use to any clinician who deals with children who have ADHD....a wonderful resource to anyone interested in what is known about ADHD."--American Journal of Psychiatry
"This is an important and useful reference for clinicians, as well as scientists, who work with children with ADHD....given the high rate of comorbidity in children with ADHD, this text is essential reading for anyone working in this area. Pliszka and colleagues have provided valuable information for those struggling to develop effective interventions for the most challenging clinical presentations of ADHD." --Behaviour Research and Therapy
"A must for clinicians, educators, and parents working with victims of ADHD." --Choice

Review
"This excellent text provides a comprehensive review of the diagnostic and treatment issues surrounding comorbidity in ADHD. Any clinician treating children and adolescents with these complex problems will find it useful and informative." --Jon McClellan, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
"Informative, authoritative, thoughtful, and scholarly, ADHD with Comorbid Disorders is a 'must-have' book for all mental health professionals. The authors serve up the most encylopedic, well-informed review of pediatric psychopharmacology that I have read in a long time. The book is extremely well written, with vivid, real-life case histories. Rather than describing idealized patients, Pliszka and his colleagues present children who fail the 'easy' treatments, and who only start mending after they have been taken all the way through the authors' logical treatment algorithms. Run, don't walk, to get this book--you shouldn't practice child psychiatry without it!" --Laurence Greenhill, MD, New York State Psychiatric Institute
"Finally, a text that captures the clinical complexity of ADHD! Pliszka, Carlson, and Swanson have succeeded in systematically reviewing the clinical nuances and variations related to comorbidity in ADHD, and the result is a book of great importance and usefulness to clinicians and researchers alike. The field has long awaited a book of this kind, that integrates up-to-date research data on conditions co-occurring with ADHD with a systematic approach to treatment. The authors' rich accumulated clinical wisdom comes through in a variety of informative practice recommendations and guidelines throughout each section, with a balance of approaches that is rare. This text should be invaluable to a broad audience of child researchers and clinicians--child psychologists, child psychiatrists, pediatricians, pediatric neurologists--as well as forming an excellent framework for review of ADHD comorbidity for trainees."--James T. McCracken, MD, Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California, Los Angeles
