Must-read for all clinicians by J. L. Horn (Indianapolis, Indiana)  5 Stars
March 10, 2007
Thsi revision of Barkley's book is outstanding. The book is easier to read than past revisions, yet like the previous ones provides up-to-date research findings on ADHD. The chapters on school supports are matchless compared to other books by ADHD researchers/writers. Parents will probably find the book "heady", but no clinician should practice without having read this book.

Excellent but challenging. by Jorge Munoz-Bustamante (Miami, FLorida) 5 Stars
March 05, 2007
This is the most complete explanation I've read on ADHD. It has been a challenging process but worth every minute and frustration. If you become familiar with this book you will be familiar with ADHD and will have a great reference at hand. If you have a child with ADHD or suspect the same you will get invaluable information if you can stick to it. This is definitely not "ADHD For Idiots"!
