A comprehensive and evidence-based guide to understanding ADHD and its treatment
ADHD remains one of the most widely misunderstood neurodevelopmental disorders, with debates surrounding its diagnosis, causes, and treatment continuing to evolve. The Science of ADHD provides a clear, balanced, and up-to-date exploration of this complex condition. With an accessible narrative style, author Chris Chandler expertly navigates the latest research to present an objective look at ADHD's neuroscience, genetics, psychological theories, and treatment approaches.
The fully revised second edition reflects the latest advancements in the field, including updated diagnostic criteria and a nuanced discussion of ADHD as a neurodevelopmental disorder. New and expanded chapters address the impact of non-pharmacological treatments, ADHD's association with addiction, ongoing challenges in ADHD research, the broader implications of neurodiversity, and more. Throughout this edition, engaging discussions of genetics, neuroscience, and psychology enable readers to develop a deeper understanding of ADHD and its implications.
Empowering readers with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions, The Science of ADHD:
- Discusses emerging research, treatment innovations, and ongoing questions in ADHD science
- Balances academic depth with readability, making complex concepts approachable for non-specialists and professionals alike
- Offers actionable insights for educators, clinicians, and parents to better support individuals with ADHD
- Covers pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and emerging treatment options, alongside critiques of current approaches
- Features real-life insights and experiences shared by individuals with ADHD and their family members
- Includes a glossary and a well-organized layout to help readers navigate scientific terms and concepts effectively
Bridging the gap between cutting-edge science and everyday experience, The Science of ADHD, Second Edition, is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate psychology and neuroscience courses focusing on developmental disorders or psychobiology. It is also a valuable reference for clinicians, educators, and policymakers seeking a research-backed understanding of ADHD to support individuals in diverse settings.
