Attention Deficit Disorder: Practical Coping Methods

by C. Fisher Barbara, Ross A Beckley

Answering questions logically and systematically, Attention Deficit Practical Coping Methods eliminates the confusion common among professionals treating this disorder. The book reflects the authors' belief that ADD represents a very complex syndrome that requires very specific diagnosis, including identification not only of specific attentional symptoms but also of the other accompanying issues. He elucidates an integrated approach to treatment that uses medication and coping mechanisms to address the specific problems and understand the emotional issues that may prevent the child, adolescent, or adult from working to his or her full potential.

This seems to be little more than a vanity project for Barbara Fisher. The vast majority of the book's chapters are (poorly) written by her, and there is exceedingly little by way of "practical coping mechanisms" despite the book's ostensible goal. The book's contents largely comprise diagnostic and definitional issues, misconceptions, and tangentially related subjects like sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, and even a gem of a chapter on bedwetting. When a book seems like filler from the beginning, it's a good sign it should not have been written.
