Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children and Adolescents in the series Advances in Psychotherapy EvidenceBased Practice Advances in PsychotherarpyEvidenceBased Practice

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood disorder that can have serious consequences for academic, emotional, social, and occupational functioning.When ADHD is properly identified and diagnosed, however, there are many interventions that have established benefits.This compact and easy to follow guide therefore covers all aspects of the assessment and management of ADHD in children and adolescents that are relevant in real life practice, ranging from diagnosis to the choice of appropriate, empirically supported interventions. Both a “how to” reference for use by professional clinicians in their daily work and an ideal educational reference for students, its most important feature is that it is practical and reader friendly. Tables, relevant case studies, and marginal notes assist orientation, while suggestions for further reading, support groups, and educational organizations provide additional resources. ADHD in adults is covered in a companion volume in the Advances in Psychotherapy – Evidence-Based Practice series.
