“The standard reference in the field....Barkley's...theory of ADHD brings together his own vast knowledge of ADHD and other areas—developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental neuropsychology, then bridges the deficits commonly found in ADHD with the broad area of executive functions. He is quite aware that he is breaking new ground, and that there is speculation in his formulations. But we are grateful he has put his good mind to developing this area. Having a theory to develop and test is a welcome development in this field....Because of Barkley's focus on executive functions, he is likely to bring some clarity to this often murky area....This book should be on every neuropsychologist's shelf. It gives the most complete up-to-date review of known research on ADHD.”

“Important updates regarding the etiology, genetics, neuroimaging, and treatment of ADHD are provided throughout. Dr. Barkley makes these complex areas understandable to the clinician through his clear, concise, jargon-free prose. The book contains contributions from many of the leaders in clinical research on both psychopharmacological and psychosocial treatments, and will be invaluable to clinicians of all specialties who wish to establish a state-of-the-art ADHD treatment program. This book is an ideal text for psychology or counseling graduate programs, as well as psychiatry residency training.”
