Format:Paperback
Great book outlining a step by step nonpathologising narrative therapy approach to responding to adhd. Really makes you question the value (or harm) of such diagnoses and encourages readers to consider a non medical wider sociocultural context to such difficulties. An interesting book for those familiar with narrative approaches but also provides enough 'how to' detail for some one who is new to narrative. I would recommend it to all clinicians working with families where ADHD type behaviour is causing trouble.

An Eye-Opening Journey
6 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
David Nylund's book "Treating Huckleyberry Finn" is written in a simple and straightforward style which helps the reader in understanding an extremely complex issue.
As a new therapist I found the book extremely helpful in providing tips for assisting clients labeled ADHD; with great insights for both parents and teachers of these clients. Mr. Nylund's SMART approach to treating this issue is extremely helpful. The case examples presented help demonstrate both the philosophy and various techniques of the SMART therapy approach.
I found the book easy to read and very thought provoking. ADHD is a multi-facated issue and Mr. Nylund does a great job of asking challenging questions regarding the issue. I highly recommend this book to anyone whose life is challenged and blessed by having high energy children and adolescents in their life.

Fresh approach to an everpresent problem
11 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
As a graduate student in a counseling program, I found this book to be a great read. Nylund does a great job of explaining his SMART approach to working with children labeled ADHD. While I do agree that ADHD is a real problem for some children, I do feel that too many children are diagnosed with this disorder, resulting in the overdiagnosis and labeling of children at very young ages. With this overdiagnosis comes over-medication of children as well. I think that Nylund's approach offers an alternative for those children and their families who may wish to to tackle ADHD from a different perspective by focusing on the strengths of the child and family instead of treating the ADHD from the deficit model. Great book! I plan to utilize this approach in my work as a counselor.

A Parent's Perspective
11 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
I have just read Treating Huckleberry Finn and want to share with other parents that David Nylund has provided help in clarifying the issues regarding the diagnosis and pressures to medicate. Parents have too few resources to help them make these often times life changing decisions.
David provides clear, creative as well as practical suggestions for helping children use their strengths to tackle the problems of ADHD--
