Reviews

"Those who already own the second edition of this classic resource will find ample reason to upgrade to the third, and students and younger practitioners coming to the Handbook for the first time will enjoy the most comprehensive coverage of clinically applicable information about ADHD available in a single, scholarly source."
-Joel Nigg, PhD, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University

"This handbook provides an in-depth, critical review of the majority of issues in ADHD. Barkley tackles associated controversies in a forthright manner, taking on both the antipsychiatry critics and the therapeutic nihilists."
-Russell Schachar, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Canada

"The Handbook remains the essential ADHD reference for clinicians, educators, and investigators....Lucid descriptions of assessment methods, diagnosis, and integrated treatments establish a foundation both for contemporary clinical practice and for future research inquiry. The newly organized Key Clinical Points in each chapter, combined with comprehensive reference lists, ensure that the richness of content is both comprehensive and accessible."
-James J. McGough, MD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, UCLA School of Medicine

"The range and scope of the contents are truly exceptional. This handbook will be an important and very useful text in our child and adolescent psychotherapy course and in our clinical practicum as well."
-Thomas R. Kratochwill, PhD, School Psychology Program, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"Important updates regarding the etiology, genetics, neuroimaging, and treatment of ADHD are provided throughout. Dr. Barkley makes these complex areas understandable to the clinician through his clear, concise, jargon-free prose. The book contains contributions from many of the leaders in clinical research on both psychopharmacological and psychosocial treatments, and will be invaluable to clinicians of all specialties who wish to establish a state-of-the-art ADHD treatment program. This book is an ideal text for psychology or counseling graduate programs, as well as psychiatry residency training."
-Steven R. Pliszka, MD, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
