Adult Attention Deficit Disorder: Brain Mechanisms and Life Outcomes

This volume includes current and historical thinking by world renowned researchers and clinicians about adult attention deficit disorder, a relatively recent and still controversial diagnosis. Historical overviews are presented by authors synonymous with the earliest descriptions of the syndrome. State of the art biological theories and research findings are discussed, including neuroimaging studies, molecular genetics, neurochemistry, endocrinology, and acquired brain injury. Clinical assessment is discussed, including a review and critique of computerized assessment, neuropsychological evaluation and symptom rating scales. The important model of executive dysfunction is discussed, as is the overlapping conditions, including a review of medical conditions which produce attention deficits, clinical and familial psychiatric comorbidities, ADD and schizophrenia, PTSD, and substance abuse. Finally the volume reviews current modalities of treatment, including medication, psychotherapy, cognitive remediation and coaching, newer alternative treatments, and EEG biofeedback.
