| Summary: | Many adults today are struggling with a disorder that is commonly ascribed only to children. This guide helps mental health practitioners recognize this overlooked diagnosis and treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults, offering relief and hope for distressed relationships and careers. Through accessible writing and engaging case studies, Resnick provides expert clinical guidance on etiology, differential diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. This practical book is a valuable introduction to the hidden prevalence of ADHD in adults. This book is written for the busy clinician who needs a practical guide in the diagnosis and treatment of adult attention deficit disorders. It is relatively brief and to the point and not overloaded with citations and book references. The intention is to provide the reader with a framework, building on existing skills, to identify and treat ADHD in adults. At the end of the book, however, there are references and resources for those who wish more detailed information in a given content area and for practitioners to use in their work.
