Summary: A good reference
Comment: Making the Connection: A Parent's Guide to Medication in ADHDDr.Barkley is a recognized expert in the field of ADHD. Taking Charge of ADHD has been around for several years as an essential reference for many parents. Even though this book is outdated regarding the latest research and the current available medications, it is still an excellent reference for parents looking for good reliable information on ADHD. Part 1 is an overview of ADHD. Dr. Barkley addresses many of the myths that surround the diagnosis as well as provide good basic information. The other parts of the book address a variety of topics including some common sense behavioral approaches. Overall this is a good reference that is a bit outdated.

Summary: This book is out of date
Comment: I recently bought this book to help me with my own ADHD child. I thought I knew what ADHD was and this book only confused me. When I brought up the issues in the book that concerned me, my child's psychotherapist told me that the book is out of date and the theory's held in this book are views that are no longer held by the medical community.
The issues that are out of date:
1.) That ADHD is merely a problem of behavior inhibition.
2.) That ADHD children to not have an "inner voice" that helps guide their behavior.
3.) People with ADHD do not have the ability to look towards the future.
If you are looking for help with your child, find a great therapist that will teach your child coping skills and look for a book that is current with all of the new research that there is on ADHD. It will help you tremendously. This book will not.
