Summary: ADHD is Real
Comment: This is an excellent scientific review of ADHD for health care practitioners who treat children with ADHD. It offers information based on scientific research, not emotionalism and anecdote. If you want to read anti-medical propaganda, read Breggin. If you want science, read Silver.

Summary: Definitely written by a doctor who is forcing ADHD diagnosis
Comment: If you are wondering why so many kids are diagnosised with ADHD and why most of them are on Ritalin, this is the book for you. It doesnt go into detail about the whys but as you read the book you'll notice how much this doctor, like many others, is pushing the diagnosis of ADHD and not looking at anything else, like genetic disorders, blood disorders, mental or emotional problems, and hundreds of other things that cause ADHD like behavior. As he describes the whys and hows of diagnosis he never goes into looking at the other things that may be causing the behavior and that is sad. This is a very narrow minded book, totally focused on pushing ADHD and is an example of why the diagnosis of ADHD has went through the roof recently. Also in the book, as you read, you'll notice how narrow minded he is about treat for ADHD. The only treatment he talks good about is medication - Ritalin. He briefly talks about the others but only to speak negatively about them. If you are looking for a narrow minded book, that totally focuses on ADHD for bad behaviors and one that doesnt look at alternatives for treatments other than medication, this is the one for you.
