Product Description
This book presents the Proceedings of the Fourth High Point Hospital Symposium on Attention Deficit Disorder. This symposium was characterised by both current and retrospective reviews of several existing research programs in ADD, and focused on the very recent history of ADD, paralleling the thrust towards preeminence of the clinical neurosciences. The format of the Symposium was designed to link emerging trends in the area to their immediate historical background. Several young researchers were invited to give their status reports on their current research programs. Each of these individuals was also asked to nominate a mentor, who had exerted a career directing influence, to comment on the status report. Taken together, these presentations, along with the retrospective commentaries of the mentors will give the reader a comprehensive breakdown of the ADD field. ... Read more

Product Description
Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) is now recognized as the most common cause of school under-achievement and behavior difficulties in schoolchildren. It affects 5-10% of children aged 5-18 years -- the same proportion as asthma. There is currently a rapid increase in the awareness of this condition among educators, child-care professionals and parents, and A.D.D. is receiving increased media attention.

In All About A.D.D. Mark Selikowitz notes changing attitudes towards the diagnosis and treatment of A.D.D. among the ranks of pediatricians. This recent focus on A.D.D. proves that there is a need for an up-to-date, comprehensive and practical guide covering the condition in a balanced and authoritative manner, and this book fills that need. It will help parents, educators and health professionals including doctors, psychologists and speech therapists understand and treat the disorder. ... Read more
