内容简介：
Finally, here is a book examining Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and its impact over the lifespan. Most of the published literature and media coverage has focused on ADD in childhood, with debates centering on the use of various medications in its treatment.
In Attention Deficit Disorder, Dr. Quinn looks beyond this narrow perspective to consider diagnosis and treatment from infancy to full adulthood. Chapters address ADD and the unique symptoms and problems presented at each separate developmental stage. In addition to characteristic features of the disorder at particular stages, criteria for diagnosis and treatment protocols are provided. Dr. Quinn's personal and professional expertise combine to make Attention Deficit Disorder an indispensable reference for practitioners-who will be treating a growing number of ADD clients as public awareness increases. The book brings together a tremendous amount of information-as well as dispelling misinformation-to create a solid base of knowledge for effective diagnosis and treatment.
