Behavior seminar in a book

This Handbook is comprised of several areas of study dealing with AD/HD and other behavior disorders. The behavioral studies that are discussed are by several different doctors in sort of a seminar type of format. Each section of the book discusses studies that were done and their findings of those studies. Some of the studies that are reviewed are the social environments at school/home, medication and duration on behavior, the implementations of short/long term reward systems, short/term long memory patterns, ... and ect.

Excellent Book

This book is very exciting to read if you would like a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying behavior disorders such as AD/HD and ODD. It does an excellent job of evaluating competing theories that explain the disorders. It also descibes risk and protective factors and their implications for short- and long-term outcomes.
