Infos

This work addresses questions about attention deficit disorder (ADD), and is designed to appeal to both professional and lay person. It establishes an understanding of this disorder, defining ADHD and ADD as two separate orders, both structurally and neurochemically different from one another.

---

Answering questions logically and systematically, Attention Deficit Disorder: Practical Coping Methods eliminates the confusion common among professionals treating this disorder. The book reflects the authors' belief that ADD represents a very complex syndrome that requires very specific diagnosis, including identification not only of specific attentional symptoms but also of the other accompanying issues. He elucidates an integrated approach to treatment that uses medication and coping mechanisms to address the specific problems and understand the emotional issues that may prevent the child, adolescent, or adult from working to his or her full potential.
