Providing a new perspective on ADHD in adults, this compelling book
analyzes findings from two major studies directed by leading authority
Russell A. Barkley. Groundbreaking information is presented on the
significant impairments produced by the disorder across major functional
domains and life activities, including educational outcomes, work,
relationships, health behaviors, and mental health. Thoughtfully
considering the treatment implications of these findings, the book also
demonstrates that existing diagnostic criteria do not accurately reflect
the way ADHD is experienced by adults, and points the way toward
developing better criteria that center on executive function deficits.
Accessible tables, figures, and sidebars encapsulate the study results
and methods.
