Rezensionen

"This book is recommended to all professionals wanting to increase their skills in working with children affected by ADHD. It presents a detailed and practical scheme based on cognitive-behavioural therapy, with well-worked-out sessions and advice. Teachers and clinicians will find good ideas for promoting resilience and overcoming disability." -- Professor Eric Taylor, Retired Head of the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Department, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, UK

"Finally a comprehensive resource applying research proven principles to address the myriad of co-occurring problems children with ADHD frequently experience. Drs. Young and Smith are to be commended for providing clinicians with this thorough guide filled with practical ideas and strategies for the novice and experienced clinician." -- Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., Editor in Chief, Journal of Attention Disorders, University of Utah School of Medicine

"This is a valuable resource for parents, carers and school staff, and fills an important gap in the in the support available for children diagnosed with ADHD. Most important of all, it addresses the criticism often levelled at current services, in that it places the child at the heart of the treatment process, and helps them to understand how best to minimise the difficulties that they may face at home and in school, and how best to make the most of their potential. The programme will help increase skills, planning, organisation, and personal resilience, and so lead to more positive outcomes for this vulnerable population." -- Bill Colley, Educational Consultant, The UK ADHD Partnership, London, UK

"Drs. Young and Smith's CBT Guide to working therapeutically with children is a must have for any CBT therapist or children's counsellor who is involved in supporting young people with ADHD. Providing clear and effective strategies that offer the child a framework to learn how to understand and live successfully with ADHD, this guide is long overdue." -- Dr. Tony Lloyd, CEO, ADHD Foundation
