Unlocking the Potential of Patients with ADHD: A Model for Clinical Practice

Clinical psychologist Vincent Monastra, who directed a community clinic for attention disorders, sets out a complete model for assessing and treating ADHD in everyday practice. He reviews the neuroscience of ADHD, including findings from neuroimaging and quantitative EEG, then works through diagnosis, medical conditions that can look like ADHD, and the often-overlooked roles of diet, sleep and exercise.

For clinicians who want to turn a large research literature into a practical, whole-person plan of care, with medication, school support, parenting and social-skills work each given its place.
