Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Treating a child or adolescent with ADHD is especially challenging when hyperactivity and inattention are accompanied by many other symptoms. It is not uncommon to encounter such complex ADHD cases as the child who also presents with aggression or antisocial behavior, the teen who has made a suicide attempt, or the hyperactive child with mental retardation. Integrating the latest biomedical and psychosocial knowledge, this practice-oriented volume is designed to help clinicians meet the needs of these tough-to-treat clients. Major comorbidities are described in depth and empirically grounded guidelines are presented for evaluation and treatment. Filled with illustrative case examples and pointers to facilitate time- and cost-effective practice, this book will enhance the work of clinicians and students in a range of settings.
