ADHD Book. Living Right Now!

I have the belief that if you cannot provide an explanation in simple terms, you do not really understand what you are writing about. Dr Martin Kutscher knows what he is writing about. He explains ADHD in a clear and simple style that is appealing to a parent or teacher and is an example of good practice for clinicians. The text provides a description of the nature of ADHD and the concept of impaired executive function and identifies a wide range of practical strategies that can be used at home and school. The strategies include conventional treatment such as changing attitudes and circumstances at school, medication and behaviour modification; but this book is to be commended for including a chapter on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (Talking it Through). There is also an excellent chapter for children to read and a summary for those who may not have the time to read all the chapters. To read only the summary would be a mistake as this book has a wealth of information on every page. No words are redundant and the format is reader friendly. When a child has ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome, I will recommend Martin Kutscher’s book as the primary reference for parents and teachers to understand and treat the ADHD aspect of the child’s profile of abilities.
