What Causes ADHD?

the long version

"The literature on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has grown exponentially in the last decade, yet the disorder's etiology remains poorly understood. In this groundbreaking volume, Joel T. Nigg synthesizes a wealth of recent neuropsychological research to shed new light on the multiple pathways by which ADHD develops. In the process, he offers an integrative, highly readable perspective on many controversial issues and frequently encountered clinical questions. Building the reader's knowledge of what is actually going on in the symptomatic child's brain and why, the book identifies promising potential directions for assessment, treatment, and prevention."--Jacket.
