Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "must have" for therapists and agencies treating adult ADD
Review: A very well documented and scholarly book. There are chapters on medications, interventions, career issues, assessment, and special topics for women with ADD. Consider buying it for your reference library.

Few other books offer such a comprehensive guide to identifying, treating, and understanding attention deficit in adults.

My only complaint is that this book was published in 1995. I'm sure a second addition would be even more useful to both the adult with ADD and the practicioners treating it. Still, this is a book you will read enthousiastically, and reference often.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL
Review: In A Comprehensive Guide to Attention Deficit Disorder in Adults, Kathleen Nadeau put together one of the most helpful books for the professional working with clients or patients with ADD. Each chapter is written by a different specialist about a different issue. All chapters contain current information which makes it an invaluable resource for the professional working with ADD clients and patients. I highly recommend it to any professional working with ADD adults and children.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A first rate handbook for professionals
Review: While six years have passed since Ms. Nadeau published the "comprehensive guide" it's thorough, relevant coverage of the basic topics/issues in the assessment and treatment of adults with ADD compares favorably to recent works by P. Wender M.d. and T. Brown, Ph.D. Despite a growing list of titles on the bookshelf this book stands out as one of few that offers well researched and systematic reviews of basic etiologic and developmental factors. Several chapters discuss the array of differential diagnostic and treatment issues faced by men and women with ADD and/or multiple disorders. Other chapters provide thoughtful analysis and treatment guidelines for dealing with college and graduate students, while other sections offer thorough coverage of assessment issues and strategies. For those seeking a broad-based, well-researched and accessable reference for treating adults with ADD, Nadeau's "comprehensive Guide" remains one of the best.
