This is a new and expanded edition of a classic case-study in the
medicalization of ADHD, originally published in 1976. The book
centres on an empirical study of the process of identifying
hyperactive children, providing a perceptive and accessible
introduction to the concepts and issues involved. In this revised
edition, Peter Conrad sets the original study in context,
demonstrating the continuing relevance of his research. He
highlights the issues at stake, outlining recent changes in our
understanding of ADHD and reviewing recent sociological research.
Peter Conrad is Harry Coplan Professor of Social Sciences at
Brandeis University, USA. He has written extensively in the area of
medical sociology, publishing nine books and over eighty articles
and chapters.
