Interventions for ADHD
Treatment in Developmental Context
by Phyllis Anne Teeter

This important volume takes a lifespan perspective on ADHD, dispelling the notion that it is only a disorder of childhood and enabling clinicians to develop effective and appropriate interventions for preschoolers, school-age children, adolescents, and adults.

Full Description:   

This important volume takes a lifespan perspective on ADHD, dispelling the notion that it is only a disorder of childhood and enabling clinicians to develop effective and appropriate interventions for preschoolers, school-age children, adolescents, and adults. Within a biogenetic, neurodevelopmental framework, the author reviews empirically and clinically based treatment interventions including psychopharmacology, behavior management, parent/teacher training, and self-management techniques. Specific challenges and milestones for each clinical population are examined and related disturbances of self-control and impulsivity are placed in their developmental context.

"The succinct but comprehensive evaluation of medications and their appropriateness at each life stage makes this book a valuable resource for ADHD sufferers, their parents, and practitioners. Academic libraries will find it a good introduction for those who know little about ADHD or who need to catch up on the latest research. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals."
-Choice
"This exceptional volume is unique for two reasons: it focuses exclusively on intervention, providing practical and scientifically validated treatments for ADHD, and it is the first text of its kind organized specifically from a developmental perspective. Thoughtful, readable, and up-to-date, the book exemplifies the contemporary shift in focus from a categorical view of ADHD to a dimensional, lifespan view. I highly recommend this text to anyone with a serious interest in ADHD."
