For over 100 years, ADHD has been seen as essentially a behavior
disorder. Recent scientific research has developed a new paradigm
which recognizes ADHD as a developmental disorder of the cognitive
management system of the brain, its executive functions. This
cutting-edge book pulls together key ideas of this new
understanding of ADHD, explaining them and describing in
understandable language scientific research that supports this new
model. It addresses questions like: - Why can those with ADHD focus
very well on some tasks while having great difficulty in focusing
on other tasks they recognize as important? - How does brain
development and functioning of persons with ADHD differ from
others? - How do impairments of ADHD change from childhood through
adolescence and in adulthood? - What treatments help to improve
ADHD impairments? How do they work? Are they safe? - Why do those
with ADHD have additional emotional, cognitive, and learning
disorders more often than most others? - What commonly-held
assumptions about ADHD have now been proven wrong by scientific
research? Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other
medical and mental health professionals, as well as those affected
by ADHD and their families, will find this to be am insightful and
invaluable resource.
