Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most
prevalent childhood psychiatric disorders of our time. The
condition is defined by levels of inattention, hyperactivity and
impulsivity that are in impairing and developmentally
inappropriate. Increasingly, there is a growing appreciation that
for many individuals the disorder may persist into adulthood and be
associated with significant social and economic burden.
Conditions, such as ADHD, that are manifestly heterogeneous in
terms of their clinical presentation, underlying neurobiology and
treatment response, must be tackled on multiple fronts. This
Handbook of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder provides a
state of the art position on each of these fronts from leading
clinicians and researchers from around the world. Broad in its
scope and comprehensive in its detail, this book should be as
useful to the student as it is to the experienced clinician or
researcher.
