ADHD in Adults: A Psychological Guide to Practice

£22.07

A landmark of a book. - There are a lot of good books on ADHD, although fewer on Adult ADHD. On the whole they tend to either be of the inspirational variety or somewhat academic. Not that either of these is wrong. People with ADHD need all the inspiration they can get, and it is very good to know that someone in academe is taking adult ADHD seriously, however, this is a very practical book. It gives a lot of detail about how therapists should go about non drug treatment of patients with adult ADHD (although it does deal with drug treatment too). There is possibly a slight bias towards the hyperactive type patient rather than the inattentive type, but then again that might be because this reviewer tends towards the dreamy side.For too long, certainly in Britain but probably also worldwide, adult ADHD has gone unrecognised, and even today very little is done other than throw methylphenidate at the problem. Any professional that deals with adults with ADHD should get this at once. If you are an adult with ADHD then you may well find this book useful too, although you should know that it has a lot of stuff about psychological treatment methods and doesn t have imagery and specific stories like books aimed at the layman. It isn t a heavy academic read, though. If you have ADHD, one thing is certain, though - if you ve read this book you ll know an awful lot about treating ADHD. And if whoever is treating you for ADHD hasn t read it... well, let us just encourage them politely to do so.
