What You Think ADD/ADHD Is, It Isn't (eBook, ePUB)

Symptoms and Neuropsychological Testing Through Time

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

ADD/ADHD is not as easily diagnosed or clear-cut as many believe; in fact it very often acts as a masking agent for other underlying, contributing disorders. This volume is the culmination of the author's years of research involving clinical experience and testing. Debunking common myths and shedding light upon the way this disorder truly impacts people, the book presents the results of the largest clinical research study for ADD/ADHD, compiling 20 years of testing. The book provides statistical analysis from neuropsychological evaluations and self-reporting questionnaires from parents, teachers, adolescents, and adults.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Barbara C. Fisher is the author of three prior books on ADD/ ADHD. Trained as a neuropsychologist, she has been involved in the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD for over 20 years. On the cutting edge of assessing ADD/ADHD with neuropsychological testing, she does not rely upon self-report measures for diagnosis. Rather, she has used the same comprehensive battery of tests over time to demonstrate when the problem is purely ADD Inattentive disorder and when there is the impact of additional issues beyond ADD, which has resulted in more positive effects for treatment.
