Rapid changes are taking place in our knowledge of ADHD.Today there is a great surge of interest in ADHD, with many new developments in our understanding of the disorder and how it should best be treated. In this book we have tried to give readers this new knowledge in a condensed, easy-to-read, yet comprehensive and scholarly fashion. There are new tools for diagnosis, new methods of treatment, and new scientific understanding of the biology and psychology of ADHD, spanning the infant through the elderly adult. We steer clear of controversies and concentrate on the facts, aiming to make this knowledge accessible to students, parents, and non-specialist professionals.
