Review
"The best book buy of the month....A very worthwhile book."--Child Behavior and Development Letter
"An excellent addition to the library of the family physician. Extremely well done, the book supplies an abundance of clinical and basic information, and furnishes a framework the family physician will find very useful in dealing with many behavioral problems of both children and adults."--American Family Physician
"Should be in the personal library of every clinician of any discipline who deals with children with attention deficit disorder, adolescents, or adults on a regular basis. The book is very clearly written and is free of technical jargon, so that it can be understood by parents and professionals in nonmedical disciplines who might not be as familiar with medical terminology as with the terminology used in this book. This book is highly recommended for parents who have just been told that their child has attention defict disorder. It is also highly recommended for teachers who have to deal on a daily basis with children with attention deficit disorder and who often do not have a background in recognizing and managing this disorder." --American Journal of Psychiatry --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
Written by a leading child psychiatrist and researcher , this book covers not just excessive activity, but all the symptoms exhibited by ADD patients and demonstrates how the disorder can change with age. Parents, teachers, psychologists, and medical professionals will learn about the causes and characteristics of ADD; how ADD differs from learning disability; where to seek help; the kind and reliability of diagnostic tests; and the different approaches to treatment. A special feature of the book is its coverage of the occurrence of ADD in adults, an area of research previously open only to specialists.

One of the best books I've read on the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hyperactive Child, Adolescent, and Adult: Attention Deficit Disorder Through the Lifespan (Paperback)
As the mother of a "hyperactive" child and founder of the first parent support group for the parents of such children in Germany, I can fully endorse this book. To anyone who suspects that their child suffers from AD/HD, this book is an absolute must. It not only gives information on the symptoms of the syndrom, info on medicative treatments, but also valuable tips on structuring.

Little information on adolescents.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Hyperactive Child, Adolescent, and Adult: Attention Deficit Disorder through the Lifespan (Hardcover)
The book provides accurate information on the ADHD child in general, but I found it to have little information on adolescent children. My search for this specific information was the reason I bought it, so I was somewhat disappointed.
