Rezensionen
'The Science of ADHD is a felicitous mix of the scholarly and popular. I would certainly recommend it as a valuable handbook for informed parents and professionals engaged in the management of children with ADHD. At the same time, senior students and researchers about to undertake work in the area would also greatly benefit from it.' -- Emeritus Professor John Bradshaw, Monash University, Australia

'This is an accessible and sane account of our knowledge about ADHD. The combination of personal experience and scientific understanding make it an attractive and helpful account for all those wanting to learn.' -- Professor Eric Taylor, Kings College London Institute of Psychiatry, UK
"This is a really useful book and covers just about everything you want to know about ADHD." (Young Minds Magazine, 21 March 2013)

"Overall the book provides an excellent platform, and the impressive list of references means that the reader can explore much farther in their area of interest." (The Psychologist, 1 July 2011)
