Reviews"The book is easy to read and, in spite of its length at 320 pages, is well apportioned in its content and practical in its advice. Rich in anecdote and warm in understanding of the human experience of ADHD, this book should be a must for most parents....Dr. Barkley has produced a book that will be added to the list of practical, reasoned, well thought out and helpful resources for parents who are looking for it all in one place."--The Canadian Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Review "I certainly plan to recommend this book to parents and grandparents of children with ADHD whom I see in my practice. The book is generally easy to read... The book has a tone of optimism throughout. It empowers parents to take charge of the life of their child with ADHD rather than feel constantly distressed and overwhelmed by the special needs of these unique children." --Canadian Medical Association Journal "The text is well written and readable. Although it provides research information, the text does not become bogged down with statistics. Technical language is kept to a minimum, and when it is used, it is explained. The book does a commendable job of providing parents with the latest information and practical guidance regarding ADHD." --Physical Therapy "Although the book is targeted at the parents of ADHD children, it will serve as a useful resource for teachers and others involved in the care and education of these children....This book is unique in its up-to-date and clear presentation of the scientific underpinnings of the disorder and the pragmatic, empirically based approach to intervention that it encourages. It is also very well organized and readable; it is probably the best available resource of this type." --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review "While many parents will find the information included invaluable in helping them to make decisions about the care of their children, practitioners will also find the book extremely useful as an up-to-date summary of ADHD research....This book should head the list of recommended readings for parents and others interested in ADHD." --The Advancing Practice "I...warmly recommend it to selected parents, and also to professionals learning about how ADHD should be managed." --Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry "...an excellent resource for parents, clinicians, and teachers....The text is written in an informative yet informal style, which almost gives readers the impression that they are having a personal conversation with the author....The true value of the book lies in the author's ability to combine current theoretical perspectives with the most recent and relevant research findings into a text that functions both as a contemporary review for professionals and a practical guide for parents." --Child Psychology, Psychiatry "Barkley is addressing two quite different audiences--parents and professionals--and he does it very well. Parents can return to the book as they reach different points on their learning curve. And practitioners will find this book stimulating and at times challenging....The book could well serve as the text for a series of parent education sessions led by a school psychologist." --NASP Communique " Russell Barkley, considered one of the leading authorities on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), provides a clear and well-written guide that encourages, exhorts, and inspires parents. This book features pioneering research that provides new insight into preventing ADHD from becoming a major obstacle in a child's (and parent's) life. Numerous techniques are offered for enhancing a child's school performance. ...provides an excellent foundation for parent training and teacher inservice presentations. Parents will appreciate having this book on hand, and teachers will want a copy to show parents who are ready for a resource." --Interventio, "Dr. Barkley, a master in the field, has written a superb book for parents and all others interested in ADHD. Full of the most up-to-date information, this book is clearly written and finely reasoned. Thank you, Russell Barkley, for this book and all your pioneering work." --Edward M. Hallowell, MD, coauthor ofDriven to DistractionandAnswers to Distraction "This very clear and well-written guide is filled with useful strategies and all the reinforcement that ADHD parents need." --Jane Marks, author ofThe Hidden Children "Russell Barkley's extensive experience as clinician, researcher, and teacher really shows. This is the most up-to-date story on our understanding of ADHD and its practical management. The readable reviews would inform most therapists. But most important, Dr. Barkley shows parents the way toward a positive approach to the problem, from which the whole family will find help." --Judith L. Rapoport, MD, Chief, Child Psychiatry Branch, NIMH, Bethesda, Maryland, author ofThe Boy Who Couldn't Stop Washing "An outstanding resource for parents of children with the syndrome currently known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In this book, Dr. Barkley and his colleagues have integrated their great compassion for families with the scientific authority for which they are known. Dr. Barkley guides parents in examining their foundational beliefs about parenthood, the nature of ADHD, and the principles and priorities that guide their actions. When he issues challenges, they are accompanied by advice and tools. For example, when emphasizing the importance of scientifically-validated information, he provides an abundance of clearly presented research findings and their applications in children's lives. Long-recognized as an outstanding parent educator from the podium, in his book, Dr. Barkley encourages, exhorts, and inspires parents to meet the challenges of raising children with ADHD." --Mary McDonald Richard, Student Disability Services, University of Iowa "While many parents will find the information included invaluable in helping them to make decisions about the care of their children, practitioners will also find the book extremely useful as an up-to-date summary of ADHD research.... this book should head the list of recommended readings for parents and others interested in ADHD." -- Amanda McCombs Thomas, Ph.D., Loyola College in Baltimore "Russell Barkley might well be known as the patron saint of ADHD for all that he has done to advance our understanding of this fascinating condition. Dr. Barkley's name is synonymous with quality, integrity, and reliability. He is meticulous in his research and unfailing in his willingness to offer his time as well as his knowledge to all who ask for help. Anyone who writes about, researches, or lives with ADHD owes a deep debt to Dr. Barkley." --Edward M. Halowell, MD, coauthor ofDriven to Distraction, 'This is not just another book.

SynopsisA treasured parent resource since its publication, Taking Charge of ADHD has now been revised and updated to incorporate the most current information on ADHD and its treatment. The book empowers parents by arming them with the knowledge, expert guidance, and confidence they need to ensure that their child receives the best care possible. Features of this edition include: -- A step-by-step plan for behavior management that has helped thousands of children with ADHD -- Hard data that clear up current controversies about increased diagnosis and stimulant use -- New strategies that give children greater chances of success at school and in social situations -- Advances in genetic and neurological research that enhance our understanding of what causes ADHD -- Practical advice for parents on managing stress and keeping peace in the family -- Descriptions of books, organizations, and Internet resources that families can trust, A treasured parent resource since its publication, Taking Charge of ADHD provides authoritative information on ADHD and its treatment. From internationally renowned ADHD expert Russell A. Barkley, the book empowers parents by arming them with the knowledge, expert guidance, and confidence they need. Included are: *A step-by-step plan for behavior management that has helped thousands of children. *Current information on medications, including coverage of Strattera and extended-release stimulants. *Strategies that help children succeed at school and in social situations. *Advances in research on the causes of ADHD. *Practical advice on managing stress and keeping peace in the family. *Descriptions of books, organizations, and Internet resources that families can trust., This book scrutinizes the genre of the author-as-character with respect to three broad issues-authorship, the posthumous, and cultural revisionism-that arise in reading such works from a contemporary perspective. Late twentieth-century fiction 'postmodernizes' romantic and modern authors not only to understand them better, but also to understand itself in relation to a past (literary tradition, aesthetic paradigms, cultural formations, etc.) that has not really passed. Penelope Fitzgerald's 'The Blue Flower', Peter Ackroyd's 'The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde and Chatterton', Peter Carey's 'Jack Maggs', Michael Cunningham's 'The Hours', Colm Toibin's 'The Master', and Geoff Dyer's 'Out of Sheer Rage: Wrestling with D. H. Lawrence - 'the mighty dead' (Harold Bloom) are brought back to life, reanimated and bodied forth in new textual bodies that project a postmodern understanding of the author as a historically and culturally contingent subjectivity constructed along the lines of gender, sexual orientation, class, and nationality., A treasured parent resource since its publication, Taking Charge of ADHD provides authoritative information on ADHD and its treatment. From internationally renowned ADHD expert Russell A. Barkley, the book empowers parents by arming them with the knowledge, expert guidance, and confidence they need. Included are: *A step-by-step plan for behavior management that has helped thousands of children.*Current information on medications, including coverage of Strattera and extended-release stimulants.*Strategies that help children succeed at school and in social situations.*Advances in research on the causes of ADHD.*Practical advice on managing stress and keeping peace in the family.*Descriptions of books, organizations, and Internet resources that families can trust., Although the book is targeted at the parents of ADHD children, it will serve as a useful resource for teachers and others involved in the care and education of these children....This book is unique in its up-to-date and clear presentation of the scientific underpinnings of the disorder and the pragmatic, empirically based approach to intervention that it encourages. It is also very well organized and readable; it is probably the best available resource of this type.
