Summary:

Forty-eight university- and practice-based mental health professionals, all but one from North America and Europe, contribute 26 chapters reviewing the growing, transatlantic knowledge about the identification, assessment, and treatment of adult ADHD. Coverage includes the development of adult ADHD as an epidemiological concept; insights into the pathophysiology of adult ADHD gained from modern research methods in genetics, neuroimaging, and electrophysiology; proper assessment and diagnostic methods; the most prevalent comorbidities of adult ADHD; effective pharmacological, psychosocial, and social treatment strategies; alternative biological treatments; and ways in which the criteria for adult ADHD might change in DSM-V, to delineate properly age-adjusted methods of diagnosis and to clarify the full extent of the symptoms and impairments associated with adult ADHD. This volume is intended for mental health workers encountering adults who present with neurodevelopmental disorders. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
