His exhaustive research and insight gained from clinical practice led to the first book about ADHD in children (\u003cem\u003eMinimal Brain Dysfunction in Children\u003c\/em\u003e, 1971). Continuing research revealed that in many instances ADHD persisted into adult life, and that adult ADHD included symptoms that were not present in childhood. These findings resulted in his 1995 book \u003cem\u003eAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults\u003c\/em\u003e. He also authored the first book for the parents of children with ADHD, \u003cem\u003eThe Hyperactive Child\u003c\/em\u003e in 1974. Now, in this revised and updated edition of \u003cem\u003eADHD\u003c\/em\u003e he presents the definitive resource on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.\u003cbr\u003e In his discussion of ADHD treatments, Wender stresses that drug therapy remains the most effective in treating the disorder. He adds, however, that psychological techniques, when combined with medication, can produce further improvement. Most important, Wender offers practical--and extensive--instructions on how parents of an ADHD sufferer can best help their child.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout, Wender supplies extensive case histories of children and adolescents with ADHD, as well as accounts of the experience of ADHD in adults as perceived by both patients and their families.

Finally, in an appendix to the volume, the author includes instructions on how adults can self-screen for the disorder. \u003cbr\u003e Now a classic work, \u003cem\u003eADHD\u003c\/em\u003e grants parents and adults whose lives have been touched by this disorder an indispensable source of help, hope, and understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Wender, M.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e is author of the best-selling book \u003cem\u003eThe Hyperactive Child, Adolescent, and Adult\u003c\/em\u003e was formerly Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Director of Psychiatric Research at the University of Utah School of Medicine.

Where do we draw the line between caring for a loved one, and being swallowed up emotionally by the obligation to do so? Quite simply, what do we owe each other? In this vivid and thoughtful study, David Karp chronicles the experiences of the family members of the mentally ill, and how they draw \"boundaries of sympathy\" to avoid being engulfed by the day-to-day suffering of a loved one. \u003cbr\u003e Working from sixty extensive interviews, the author reveals striking similarities in the experiences of caregivers: the feelings of shame, fear, guilt and powerlessness in the face of a socially stigmatized illness; the frustration of navigating the complex network of bureaucracies that govern the mental health system; and most of all, the difficulty negotiating an \"appropriate\" level of involvement with the mentally ill loved one while maintaining enough distance for personal health. Throughout the narratives, Karp sensitively explores the overarching question of how people strike an equilibrium between reason and emotion, between head and heart, when caring for a catastrophically ill person. \u003cem\u003eThe Burden of Sympathy\u003c\/em\u003e concludes with a critical look at what it means to be a moral and caring person at the turn of the century in America, when powerful cultural messages spell out two contradictory imperatives: pursue personal fulfillment at any cost and care for the family at any cost.\u003cbr\u003e An insightful, deeply caring look at mental illness and at the larger picture of contemporary values, \u003cem\u003eThe Burden of Sympathy\u003c\/em\u003e is required reading for caregivers of all kinds, and for anyone seeking broader understanding of human responsibility in the postmodern world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid A.

They argue there are no longer socially prescribed forms of conduct that help guide young men and women in the direction of matrimony; the very concepts of \"wooing\" and \"courting\" seem archaic. Yet they see major discontent with the present situation and detect among their students certain longings-for friendship, for wholeness, for a life that is serious and deep, and for associations that are trustworthy and lasting-longings they do not realize could be largely satisfied by marrying well. \u003ci\u003eWing to Wing, Oar to Oar: Courting and Marrying\u003c\/i\u003e is an anthology of source readings offered as a response to the contemporary cultural silence surrounding love that leads to marriage. It addresses important questions that emerge not from theory, but from practice: Why marry? Is this love? How can I find and win the right one to marry? What about sex? Why a wedding and the promises of marriage? What can married life be like? Using readings taken mainly from classic texts of Homer, Herodotus, Plato, Aquinas, Erasmus, Shakespeare, Rousseau, Austen, Tolstoy, C.S. Lewis, Miss Manners, and many others, this collection challenges our unexamined opinions, expands our sympathies, elevates our gaze. It offers a higher kind of sex education, one that prepares hearts and minds for romance leading to lasting marriage, and introduces us to possibilities open to human beings in everyday life that may be undreamt of in our current philosophizing. This unapologetically pro-marriage anthology is intended to help young people of marriageable age and their parents think about the meaning, purpose, and virtues of marriage and, especially, about finding the right person with whom to make a life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmy A.

In \u003ci\u003eAdult Children as Husbands, Wives, and Lovers, \u003c\/i\u003e Steven Farmer pinpoints how difficulties with these issues originate in childhood, where healthy role models were not available. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Farmer offers examples that illustrate how each of these issues is played out in the relationship, in all their variations. You'll find specific strategies for breaking old destructive patterns, and ideas on how you and your present or future partner can create healthy intimacy.

As the first social organization that we each encounter, the family is where we learn the most fundamental and enduring lessons of our lives. Yet for too many, those lessons turn out to be painful, perplexing, and emotionally crippling. In this luminous, beautifully written book, Scarf brilliantly examines the complex ways in which families create their own intimate rules and patterns of interaction, and how by understanding these dynamics we can each improve the quality of our own family life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the book's core are the stories of four fascinating families and the very different ways they enact the central issues of family life: power and intimacy; conflict and love; individuality and group identification.
