Summary:

"This incisive volume provides a solid foundation for comprehensive, practical, community-based care of patients with ADHD. Drawing from molecular genetics, neuroimaging, and neurophysiology, award-winning psychologist Vincent J. Monastra guides practitioners through a comprehensive evaluation that includes medical, neuropsychological, neurophysiological, behavioral, and functional assessments, and he clarifies how multimodal treatment can be provided in individual and group practice. Detailed chapters describe pharmacological and educational interventions as well as strategies for conducting outpatient parenting and social-skills programs. In addition, the author reviews psychological therapies (including electroencephalographic biofeedback and cognitive behavioral therapies) that are proving useful for this challenging population. Comprehensive in scope and readily applicable in clinical practice, this book will be of considerable interest to both clinicians and parents seeking to understand the neurological foundation of ADHD and the emerging diagnostic and treatment procedures that can be provided in a wide range of clinical settings"--Jacket.
