Attention Deficit Disorder: Practical Coping Methods eliminates the confusion common among professionals attempting to treat this disorder and family members affected by it by answering questions about ADD in a logical and systematic manner. The authors emphasize a whole treatment approach, using medication as well as coping mechanisms to address the specific problems and understand the emotional issues that may prevent the child, adolescent, or adult from working to his or her full potential.This work addresses questions about attention deficit disorder (ADD), and is designed to appeal to both professional and lay person. It establishes an understanding of this disorder, defining ADHD and ADD as two separate orders, both structurally and neurochemically different from one another.
