Attention Deficit Disorders and Comorbidities in Children, Adolescents and Adults
From Critiques and Reviews:
"This volume addresses the complexities of attention disorders with great clarity and clinical relevance. There is much more to ADHD than hyperactivity!"
Gabrielle A. Carlson, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry,
State University of New York at Stony Brook
"Comorbidity is one of the most challenging and interesting aspects of current research on attention-deficit disorders. This up-to-the-minute compendium covers the latest findings on attention-deficit disorders in combination with the full spectrum of other psychiatric and learning disorders. All ages of patients are included, from preschoolers through adults. This book is a valuable resource for any scientist or clinician who is interested in ADHD."
Mina K. Dulcan, M.D. Head, Dept. of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Children's Memorial Hospital Chicago, Illinois
"The book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the complex set of disorders often accompanying attention deficit disorders. It brings together an excellent group of experts who address, in a state-of-the- art way, virtually all the clinically relevant areas of comorbidity...It should be on the bookshelves of all health care professionals who need to become knowledgeable about attention deficit disorders."
Larry J. Seidman, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Psychology Harvard Medical School Boston, MA.
"In the past 10 years clinical experience and research studies have supported a new understanding of this disorder. ADHD is a complex illness that affects not only young boys but also young girls, teenagers, and adults. Its cardinal symptom is not necessarily hyperactivity but, rather, symptoms of inattention resulting in disturbances and impairments across a wide range of cognitive functions. This volume is well written, Dr. Brown has done a masterful job in integrating diverse writing styles often found in a multi-authored volume. The book brings together a knowledgeable group of experts who are at the cutting edge of the information explosion in clinically relevant areas of comorbidity."
Elissa P. Benedek, MD.
Review in American Journal of Psychiatry
"Attention Deficit Disorder and Comorbidities in Children, Adolescents, and Adults is an edited work, with chapters by many of the most respected researchers and clinicians in the field. This book is an excellent resource that also raises several important questions. In addition to providing an in-depth review of the literature regarding ADHD and comorbidity, it reveals ongoing debates about the manifestations of ADHD and the underlying nature of executive dysfunctions. It also points to compelling implications about the meaning of the high base rate of associated comorbidities."
Jeanette Wasserstein, Ph.D.
Review in Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books
"If you buy no other book on ADHD, buy this one; as a thorough and clinically centered reference book that makes a worthwhile point, this is a winner."
Peter Hill, M.D.
Review in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
"In this book on attention deficit disorders various co-morbid psychiatric conditions such as mood and anxiety disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, learning difficulties, substance use disorders, sleep difficulties, and Tourette's Syndrome are covered. This book is written with the aim of depicting the reality of attention deficit disorders as they truly exist (i.e., as a co-morbidity with other psychiatric disorders). The editor and contributors clearly describes clinical implications and base some arguments on research. This book is written for all practitioners in pediatrics and psychiatry and is very readable, clear, and succinct. This book is a welcome addition and is a must for the bookshelves of all healthcare professionals who treat children, adolescents, and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder."
Mani Pavuluri, M.D.
