Hyperactivity in children

Although much has been published on this subject in the general and medical press since 1995, much of it controversial, doctors and health professionals still have too little information about it and not many training courses are available.
For a long time the concept of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was the focus of a fierce debate that often went as far as forgetting about the problems faced by hyperactive children. And yet proper care and treatment is vital to help them cope with social, school and family situations, where ADHD can lead to rejection, behavioural disturbances and educational failure.
Recognising ADHD, treating it and preventing related complications are a daily challenge requiring specific rigorous techniques and continuous readjustments.
This clear, educational book, aimed at clinicians, was written by professionals experienced in dealing with ADHD children.
The authors' concern is to stand back from the controversy and provide the latest clinical and etiopathogenic information and the best tools for diagnosis and treatment available to clinicians, paediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, general practitioners and school doctors, as well as psychologists, speech therapists and psychometricians.
