The Ritalin Fact Book: What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Adhd And Stimulant Drugs
Review

After a vivid and harrowing tale of a young man placed on numerous medications that only compounded his problems, Breggin dives into several fairly technical chapters concerning the effects of stimulating drugs on children and how they can actually cause psychiatric disorders.

Calming the Chaos: A drug-free program to eliminate the symptoms of ADHD
My primary goal is to help all children and adults with this disorder and to provide them with the opportunity to learn how to become motivated, successful learners, to receive social acceptance, and to live drug-free. My secondary goal is to help parents of children with ADHD and adults with ADHD realize that the guilt or shame felt, due to the resulting problems, need not be a continual burden. Many of my clients have indicated that they were made to feel responsible for their child’s anti-social and inappropriate behaviour and that their approach to parenting was the cause. For the over 1000 families with whom I’ve worked, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Every one of the parents indicated they had tried ever…

Distant Drums, Different Drummers: A Guide for Young People With Adhd
From Booklist
For review see Ingersoll on p.810.
From the Inside Flap
“I know Dr. Barbara Ingersoll to be a superb, devoted clinician — sensitive, empathic, truthful, and a profoundly creative thinker. Years before I met her and worked with her, I was recommending her book ‘Your Hyperactive Child’ to parents of my patients as the best book of its type. DISTANT DRUMS, DIFFERENT DRUMMERS is written for those same parents and for young people themselves. It is designed not only to help them understand their ADHD, but to destigmatize their differences and offer suggestions for how to deal with them. It should be read by all children with ADHD and their parents as a beginning antidote to the self-estee…
