Product Description

Review

"David Nylund asks the interesting philosophical question, 'If Huckleberry Finn was on Ritalin would he have tried to help the runaway slave Jim escape?' Treating Huckleberry Finn should be read by both professionals and families looking for an effective alternative to medication-only treatment for ADHD." (Lawrence H. Diller, M.D., author, Running on Ritalin)

"If you believe that Ritalin and behavior therapy are the only hope for kids diagnosed with ADHD, then read this book and feel challenged. If you are one of those professionals concerned about the biological fundamentalism currently gripping the field, then read this book and feel confirmed." (Scott D. Miller, cofounder, Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change)

"A much-needed corrective to the one-sided medical model treatment. This is the only book that actually seems to care enough to ask children what they think about being labeled ADD or ADHD and medicated on Ritalin or other drugs. I applaud David Nylund's positive approach and his practical strategies for helping parents, educators, and mental health practitioners relate to children with troubling behaviors in a way that fully preserves their integrity as whole human beings." (Thomas Armstrong, author, The Myth of the A.D.D. Child and ADD/ADHD Alternatives in the Classroom)

"For those interested in thinking outside the box regarding ADD/ADHD this book presents a practical yet creative and uplifting approach which has the potential to liberate children and families, therapists and educators from the constrictions that the diagnosis often imposes." (Jennifer Freeman, co-author of Playful Approaches to Serious Problems)

"I doubt that Huck would read this book. He'drather light out for the Territory ahead of the rest. But I' m sure that if he met David Nylund along the way, he'd be glad to have him as a traveling companion. This book is proof that David has been exploring the Territory, so I know he's out there I'd like to listen to when he and Huck meet up." (from the foreword by Gene Combs, M.D.)

"Reports of the death of talking therapy for "ADHD" have been greatly exaggerated! In this engaging, well-written volume, Nylund provides a raft of valuable ways for working with children and families, whether on Ritalin (or similar) medications or not. Professionals-and parents-should not miss this important, highly recommended book!" (Michael Hoyt author of Some Stories are Better Than Others)



Scott D. Miller, cofounder, Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change

"If you believe that Ritalin and behavior therapy are the only hope for kids diagnosed with ADHD, then read this book and feel challenged. If you are one of those professionals concerned about the biological fundamentalism currently gripping the field, then read this book and feel confirmed."

5.0 out of 5 stars A non pathologising approach to adhd, 27 Feb 2009
By canap (NW UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treating Huckleberry Finn: A New Narrative Approach to Working with Kids Diagnosed ADD/ADHD (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.
