Résumé : This practical guide presents an empirically based "nuts-and-bolts" approach to understanding, diagnosing, and treating ADHD in adolescents. Balancing research and theory with detailed case examples, Arthur Robin takes readers through each step of his structured intervention program. Easy-to-follow guidelines illustrate the program's integration of educational, medical, and psychological components. The book contains numerous reproducible handouts and forms, including requisite rating scales and detailed checklists for evaluating ADHD, developing treatment plans, and monitoring psychological, behavioral, family, and academic progress." "This book meets a crucial need for mental health practitioners in private practice, school, community and managed care settings. It will also prove to be an indispensable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses in adolescent psychology, psychopathology, and treatment.
