The incidence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), already affecting an estimated 5% of the population, is on the rise. Of those 5%, more than half must also cope with one or more comorbid disorders of learning, emotion, and behavior-complicating ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Edited by a leading researcher and practitioner, "Attention-Deficit Disorders and Comorbidities in Children, Adolescents, and Adults" brings together the work of 25 distinguished contributors. The first section, ADDs With Comorbidities, details the effects of ADHD on a variety of comorbid disorders (e.g., anxiety and mood disorders, sleep disturbances, obsessive-compulsive disorder, oppositionality and aggression, Tourette syndrome, learning disorders, and developmental coordination disorder, and substance abuse). The second section, Assessment and Interventions for ADDs, details assessment and diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, psychosocial and educational interventions, and a cognitive therapy perspective on ADHD, with a concluding chapter that emphasizes the importance of tailoring treatment to the individual. Heavily annotated and written with practical implications for both clinicians and educators in mind, this comprehensive volume demonstrates a scope and depth unparalleled within the current literature. As such, it will find its way into the libraries of professionals and interested laypersons alike: clinical psychiatrists and psychologists; pediatricians, family practitioners and other primary care physicians who treat children, adolescents, and adults; education professionals, including school nurses, special education teachers and administrators, and college and university disability services personnel; and juvenile justice system professionals, including clinical and social workers and administrators.
