The new edition of this popular text incorporates the latest research on assessment and
treatment practices for adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The
presentation of symptoms may differ considerably in adulthood and without appropriate symptom
management ADHD can significantly interfere in many aspects of life. When properly identified
and diagnosed however outcomes in adults with ADHD who receive appropriate treatment are
encouraging. This volume is both a compact "how to" reference for use by professionals in
their daily work and an ideal educational reference for students informing the reader of all
aspects involved in the assessment and management of ADHD in adults. This edition also explores
how psychosocial adversity factors impact the development and functional impairments associated
with ADHD and highlights strategies used in the multimodal treatment of ADHD in adults. Best
practice approaches are offered for common problems encountered when carrying out treatments.
A companion volume Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children and Adolescents
is also available.
