description: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is now one of the most common childhood disorders right across the world with a wealth of conflicting advice available everywhere you look. But most parents want only one thing: to find out what is going on with their child and how they can help them. 'The ADHD Handbook' draws on the most up-to-date research from around the world to present a comprehensive look at ADHD covering:  how it is diagnosed  common myths surrounding what causes it  the brain anatomy implicated in the disorder  the conditions that can commonly occur in conjunction with ADHD  the pros and cons of various types of medication  the most effective alternative therapies and psychotherapies and  the best parenting techniques. In addition there are chapters looking at the experience of ADHD from the sufferers point of view as well as the facts and myths surrounding ADHD in adults. This is the essential reference that every parent needs to help navigate their way successfully through the challenges posed by a child with ADHD. Stuart Passmore is a psychologist in private practice. He has developed an evidenced-based Parent Management Training program for parents of children with behavioural disorders ranging from ADHD to Oppositional Defiance Disorder to Conduct Disorder and children with explosive and non-compliant behaviours. Stuart also conducts professional development training workshops on Parent Management Training for behavioural and anxiety disorders.
