Full title :Attention deficits and hyperactivity in children / Stephen P. Hinshaw.

Summary

"Children diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often have major difficulties with achievement in school; they exhibit defiance, aggression, and other antisocial behaviors. Although there is a plethora of literature on ADHD, misinformation abounds. Serving to synthesize findings from the vast and often confusing array of information on this subject, Attention Deficits and Hyperactivity in Children provides concrete information regarding basic clinical, conceptual, diagnostic, etiologic, and treatment-related issues on ADHD. This volume illustrates and evaluages several key debates and core questions that have confronted the field for many years: Is there a valid syndrome characterized by attentional deficits and/or hyperactivity? What tools can assessors utilize to gain optimal information about the disorder? Has the field achieved consensus with respect to the nature or underlying mechanisms of the behavioral difficulties these children display? Which factors predict subsequent functioning in adolescence and adulthood? Due to the great diversity of characteristics and causal influences related to ADHD, the author considers many perspectives including clinical, developmental, psychodiagnostic, psychobiologic, environmental/familial, and social cognitive viewpoints.
