Wender\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Wender began his career treating children with ADHD 37 years ago and has treated adults with the disorder for almost 30 years. His exhaustive research and insight gained from clinical practice led to the first book about ADHD in children (\u003cem\u003eMinimal Brain Dysfunction in Children\u003c\/em\u003e, 1971). Continuing research revealed that in many instances ADHD persisted into adult life, and that adult ADHD included symptoms that were not present in childhood. These findings resulted in his 1995 book \u003cem\u003eAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults\u003c\/em\u003e. He also authored the first book for the parents of children with ADHD, \u003cem\u003eThe Hyperactive Child\u003c\/em\u003e in 1974. Now, in this revised and updated edition of \u003cem\u003eADHD\u003c\/em\u003e he presents the definitive resource on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.\u003cbr\u003e In his discussion of ADHD treatments, Wender stresses that drug therapy remains the most effective in treating the disorder. He adds, however, that psychological techniques, when combined with medication, can produce further improvement. Most important, Wender offers practical--and extensive--instructions on how parents of an ADHD sufferer can best help their child.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout, Wender supplies extensive case histories of children and adolescents with ADHD, as well as accounts of the experience of ADHD in adults as perceived by both patients and their families. In addition, the book contains valuable information on where to seek help, as well as on the kinds of diagnostic tests currently available. Finally, in an appendix to the volume, the author includes instructions on how adults can self-screen for the disorder. \u003cbr\u003e Now a classic work, \u003cem\u003eADHD\u003c\/em\u003e grants parents and adults whose lives have been touched by this disorder an indispensable source of help, hope, and understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Wender, M.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e is author of the best-selling book \u003cem\u003eThe Hyperactive Child, Adolescent, and Adult\u003c\/em\u003e was formerly Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Director of Psychiatric Research at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
