The public and professionals alike are deluged with well-intentioned but poorly substantiated treatises on hyperactivity and its supposed causes and cures. From some parts of the spectrum come the assertions that hyperactivity is best understood as a purely physiological problem, perhaps a compensatory reaction to underarousal in the central nervous system, or perhaps a specific dietary allergy. From other quarters come the claims that hyperactivity is largely in the eye of the beholder and that children are the victims of slipshod labeling practices. In this climate of controversy, there is a clear need for a responsible and authoritative survey of what we know about contextual variables in the identification and treatment processes of hyperactivity in children. This volume is an attempt to fill this need. -- from Preface.

Paul Wender is a pioneer researcher and clinician who was one of the first to identify and treat children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and later to notice the same pattern of symptoms in the parents of these children. He has now thoroughly revised and updated his classic handbook on the subject, adding more case histories, expanding the section on adults, and outlining the new drug treatments that have appeared since the last edition. Reviewing what is known about ADHD, its symptoms, its life course, its etiology, the usefulness of various treatments, and the value to the patient of education about the disorder, Wender brings together a wealth of information not available in any other volume. A clinician who has treated patients with ADHD for many years, he offers compelling firsthand accounts from men and women who offer dramatic insight into what it feels like to have ADHD and how it responds to medical treatment. Combining the insights of his clinical practice with his innovative research on pharmacological treatments of psychiatric disorders, Wender offers a wealth of practical information on where to seek help, the kinds and reliability of diagnostic tests, and the different approaches to treatment. He also identifies the drug treatments that can dramatically reduce symptoms and, when necessary, render patients more amenable to treatment for any residual psychological symptoms. The classic work on this ailment, ADHD is an indispensable source of help, hope, and understanding for parents and adults who suspect that they or someone they care about may suffer from this much misunderstood disorder.

For many years adults have been concerned about the hyperactive child, who acts out in a boisterous manner, who is perhaps too physically stimulated and who is often perceived as not meeting adult expectations. It seems important to identify the characteristics of the hyperactive child in an objective and understandable manner so that parents, teachers, medical doctors, and mental health practitioners can determine more adequate prescriptive treatment programs. The purpose of this study was to adjudge whether children referred for psychoeducational evaluation by pediatricians as hyperactive exhibit behavioral characteristics which, when evaluated by standardized tests, are significantly different from those characteristics exhibited by "normal" children. Any such behavioral differences could then allow for the development of a characteristic profile for the hyperactive child. An attempt was made to discover whether children referred for hvperactivity would be significantly different from normal children when using the WISC-R subtests to measure the following traits: level of general information (Information subtest); logical and abstract verbal reasoning (Similarities subtest); concentration and number skills (Arithmetic subtest); the amount o verbal information that the child possesses (Vocabulary subtest); practical knowledge and social judgment (Comprehension subtest); immediate auditory recall and attention span (Digit Span subtest); ability to isolate essential from run-essential details (Picture Completion subtest); adequate judgment in interpreting social situations (Picture Arrangement subtest); visual-motor coordination (Block Design subtest); visual-motor organization (Object Assembly subtest); and any unique or consistent pattern of characteristics based on all of the WISC-R subtests, with the exception of Object Assembly as compared to the WJSC-R Object Assembly subtest measuring attentional behavior. Attempt was also made to discover whether children referred for hyperactivity would be significantly different from normal children when using the PIAT subtests of math and reading recognition to measure skill acquisition in math and reading. A functional analysis of 40 children was conducted, with 20 children between the ages of 6 to 12 years in a control group, referred by pediatricians as "normal," and 20 children between the ages of 6 to 12 years in an experimental group, referred by pediatricians as "hyperactive." The results were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by ranks. The results showed no significant differences between the control and experimental groups. Thus the attempt of the present study to identify characteristics of the hyperactive child through use of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test indicated that control and experimental groups appeared to be from the same population. The following conclusions were drawn from the results of this study: (1) Children referred for hyperactivity could not be identified through the use of the WISC-Rand PIA T math and reading subtests as differing from the control or "normal" population, (2) It was, therefore, not possible to establish a characteristic profile for identifying the hyperactive child by using the WISC-Rand PIA T tests alone, (3) At the present time a behavioral checklist employed by a trained practitioneer may still be the best process for identifying specific behaviors of the hyperactive child, and (4) A prescriptive diagnostic and treatment program based upon observed behaviors may provide one method for identifying and remediating deviant behavior of the overly active child.

Evan, five years old, hardly stands, much less sits, still for more than a few moments. Jessie is eight -- she's adorable...she never finishes anything on time...she's a dreamer. Cal is fifteen -- he is so impulsive that his parents worry he'll try drugs on a whim. What do these kids have in common? Do they remind you of your own children? The most talked-about childhood syndrome of the eighties and nineties is ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). This developmental disorder disrupts a child's life and often results in low self-esteem, poor grades and even social and emotional problems. These problems usually are not outgrown -- without help. But does your child have ADHD? ADHD is characterized by the following groups of behaviors: Inattention -- making careless mistakes -- difficulty sustaining attention -- problems with listening -- failure to finish schoolwork or chores -- difficulties organizing -- trouble sustaining mental efforts -- losing things -- being easily distracted -- forgetfulness Hyperactivity/Impulsivity -- fidgeting/squirming -- trouble staying seated -- inappropriate running/climbing -- difficulty playing quietly -- being on the go/driven -- talking excessively -- blurting out answers -- difficulty awaiting turn -- often interrupting All children display many of these behaviors at some point. But-according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, Fourth Edition, for a child to be diagnosed with ADHD, six or more of these symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity must have persisted for at least six months. Is Your Child Hyperactive? Inattentive? Impulsive? Distractible? offers an invaluable step-by-step program already used by thousands of parents to help you change these behaviors at home. Don't just watch it happen; help your child help himself.
