Mental health professionals, see also Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult ADHD: Targeting Executive Dysfunction , by Mary V. Solanto. Review: It's ok - This book spends a lot of time explaining ADHD and less time on giving you actual strategies to deal with it. I feel like it was a waste of money if you already have a decent amount of knowledge about ADHD. Review: A must have for anyone with, or knows anyone with, ADHD. - As a healthcare professional I can completely vouch for this resource. Dr Barkley is one of the best researchers in this space and his content is easily digestible, relevant and medically up to date. There is a lot of mis information about ADHD, especially in relation to the nurture debate, and so I would recommend this to anyone as a starting point.
