Pliszka is an internationally recognized expert on the clinical management of ADHD. Staying close to the science of the disorder, on which thousands of research studies have been published, he guides the reader through the thicket of potential comorbid disorders, their differential diagnosis, their impact on adaptive functioning, and their implications for tailoring a package of treatments for each individual case." - Russell A. Barkley, Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of South Carolina, USA "This book is a true gem... The cases resonate with the challenges and dilemmas that clinicians face and show how a master clinician carefully brings to bear an evidence-based approach to state-of-the-art patient care. The book also addresses a number of controversies related to ADHD and helps us find perspective." - James T.

It addresses challenges of treatment and guidance in a complex developmental disorder such as ADHD. Moreover, it addresses the issue of comorbidity, which is present in the great majority of ADHD cases; and if not yet present will develop subsequently. The book has the double advantage of being both a comprehensive textbook and a desktop guide....This is an ideal book for practitioners and a must for residents."--European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Details ISBN1609182316 Author Steven R.
