Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is an excellent synthesis of the current and classical research into the construct of 'executive function' and ultimate application to explain the etiology of ADHD....Any scientist with an interest in the etiology of ADHD would benefit from this ground-breaking work....Barkley's work is a valuable contribution to the psychological literature on ADHD and would be a good addition to the library of a scientist or a clinician." --Journal of Psychology and Christianity
"This is an extremely important text, full of information and ideas....this book definitely presents the first comprehensive theory of ADHD, and will generate much discussion and research....The clinical implications are also very provocative, especially for clinicians using cognitive or meta-cognitive techniques....this is a seminal contribution and worthwhile reading for any serious student of ADHD." --Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy
"...eloquently offers a fundamentally different way of understanding the many lifelong psychosocial struggles that persons with ADHD have to cope with....The author's model is of enormous value in clinical efforts to find answers to some frequently asked questions....This book will undoubtedly be remembered as one that changed the way clinicians responded to the requests of parents, siblings, and spouses wishing to find a way to nurture rather than to react with anger, which is frequently elicited by their loved ones with ADHD." --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic
"Many of the ideas presented...are highly sophisticated. Yet the book is extremely reader friendly. It feels as if Dr. Barkley is speaking to the reader rather than writing in the crisp, highly technical style of the scientific literature. All terms are clearly explained, and the reader is carefully walked through all logical leaps. Overall, the book presents what could be considered the first comprehensive theory of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder....it leads to numerous testable hypotheses, and such, it is likely to stimulate thinking, empirical research and controversy well into the 21st century." --Psychiatric Services
"Barkley presents a scholarly working model of ADHD. In the process he highlights the need for society to reevaluate its judgmental stance towards behavioral syndromes such as ADHD in which self-regulation is impaired. He also eloquently expresses the urgency for additional resources to treat this major public health problem and to elucidate its fundamental etiology." --Science
"Not only does this book provide a comprehensive history of ADHD, but it also offers new perspectives on the contributions of behavioral inhibition and executive functions to the syndrome. Numerous behavioral indicators that were not accounted for by prior theories are addressed by Barkley's new paradigm. This book is essential reading for and furnishes valuable information for psychologists, psychiatrists, and educators." --Contemporary Psychology
"[Barkley's] presentation is clear and well-organized, and offers much detailed psychological, historical, and medical evidence for his theory, as well as some useful insights into ADHD....This is essential reading for clinicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists who treat the ADHD population, and furnishes valuable research information and ideas." --Readings
"Russell Barkley does a remarkable job of bringing together and organizing literature from writers on ADHD, neuroanatomy and neuropsychology to support his "hybrid model" for understanding the disorder....As a volume devoted to theory and research its primary readers will undoubtedly be students and professionals in those fields most involved in the study of ADHD: neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and developmental pediatricians. However, the author's insights should also be useful to therapists working with clients or patients with ADHD and to anyone interested in trying to understand the nature and development of self control....[The] last chapter is worth the price of the book. It provides food for thought to anyone who is interested in ADHD or in exploring another way of thinking about impulsivity, self-control, and personal responsibility in all of us." --Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics
-- Review
Kudos to Russell Barkley for his courage and tenacity in producing this elegant and eloquent synthesis of facts and concepts about ADHD. Besides being a landmark work of neuropsychiatric importance, this book is a great example of the best in scientific thought, bursting with a joyful creativity that is grounded in but not constricted by accumulated knowledge and conventional wisdom -- Martha Bridge Denckla, MD
This is a masterful synthesis of what we know about ADHD from the clinic and the laboratory. Dr. Barkley's focus on the failure of hyperactive children and adults to inhibit their behavior has major and useful implications for diagnosis and treatment. This book will make a lasting contribution -- Judith Rapoport, MD --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
