Diagonsis & Treatment of ADHD

By Michael Gordon, Ph.D. & Martin Irwin, M.D.
SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse

  • Sensible strategies designed for a busy practice
  • Clear diagnostic algorithms
  • Medication protocols & patient instruction sheets
  • A complete 'how to' kit of forms, letters, and rating scales
  • A companion computer disk containing all relevant documents
  • Practical and cost-effective advice for managing preschoolers to adults

Although primary care physicians are inundated with demands to handle ADHD referrals, their supply of relevant resources, texts, and training programs has been thin. This book provides a no-frills, highly practical set of strategies carefully tailored to fit the realities of modern-day medical practice. Physicians will find clear algorithms to aid in making the full range of clinical decisions: "When should I refer out?" "What are the logistics of assessment?" "What about medication?" "How do I deal with schools?" The authors were so focused on practicality that they even included a computer disk containing word-processing files of all the relevant questionnaires, letters, and consent documents!
