The Complete Guide to ADHD: Nature, Diagnosis, and Treatment is a welcome addition to the voluminous literature on clinical care of children and adults with ADHD. It provides a comprehensive range of the most important topics on ADHD guided by a developmental approach to the disorder and a critical eye for the most useful research findings of which clinicians need to be aware. I highly recommend this book to clinicians, students in training to be clinicians, and other educated readers desiring a state-of-the-science review of information about ADHD and the evidence-based approaches to its assessment and management.
