Over the past two decades, the assessment of
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) has evolved into a
sophisticated balance of science and clinical judgement essential
for arriving at reliable and valid diagnostic de- sions. Because of
the precarious mix of clinical and empirical skill needed to
evaluate children with this disorder, diagnostic practice in this
area has been found wanting by many critics. In fact, a 1998
National Institutes of Health consensus panel concluded that
"existing diagnostic treatment practices ... point to the need for
improved awareness by the health service sector conce- ing an
appropriate assessment, treatment, and follow-up. A more consistent
set of diagnostic procedures and practice guidelines is of utmost
importance" (p. 21). Drs. Arthur D. Anastopoulos and Terri L.
Shelton have designed a book that addresses this need. A number of
themes are highlighted throughout the text. Perhaps the most
important is that the assessment guidelines set forth in this book
represent a balance between science and practice. The authors
account for the realities of clinical practice in an age of managed
care while challenging clinicians to heed the lessons of empirical
research. Although the use of empirically based asse- ment
procedures may at times fly in the face of cost constraints (e. g.
, systematic evaluation of medication effects), the authors present
a strong argument for them. Further, they call upon their vast
clinical experience to provide concrete suggestions for translating
research findings into effective evaluations.
