Book Reviews of Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete, Authoritative Guide for Parents (Revised Edition)

Book Review: Helpful, scientific resource
Summary: 4 Stars

As a parent of a child who is seriously affected by ADHD, I find this book an excellent resource. My child's disability goes way beyond simple attention difficulties, and Barkley addresses this when he describes ADHD as a developmental disorder of self-control. When your child is affected to the very core by ADHD, medications do become a very plausible choice to help him have some quality of life. My son has many strengths, and we have chosen to use every available resource to bring those strengths to the forefront. I think Barkley's book is a solid, fact-based resource. My hope is that someday we learn enough about the brain to understand ADHD even better.
