All About Attention Deficit Disorder: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment: Children and Adults
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is part of a spectrum of attention disorders, all of which are characterized by noncompliance, disorganization, and an inability to concentrate; hyperactivity is often present as well. Joining the growing body of fine material on these disorders is this work by clinical psychologist and ADD specialist Phelan. Written in a clear, direct style for parents and educators, the work features thorough discussions of ADD symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments; a useful review of the disorder's developmental course throughout childhood and into adult life; and a practical approach toward behavior management at home and in the classroom. Recommended for any parenting collection lacking current information on this long-misunderstood condition. A useful two-part video of the same title is also available from the publisher.- Linda Cullum, Lake Superior State Univ. Lib., Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
