For clinicians, medical students, and researchers, Ramsay (psychology in psychiatry, Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Treatment and Research Program, U. of Pennsylvania) outlines
alternative treatments for adults with ADHD to help with coping behavior and functioning when medications don't work, as an addition to medications, or when patients do not wish to use them. He
describes the history and features of ADHD in adults, clinical studies on the efficacy of treatments, and interventions such as psychosocial treatments, academic support and accommodations for
postsecondary students, career counseling and workplace support, help with relationships and social functioning, neurofeedback and neurocognitive training, and complementary and alternative
medicine, such as meditation, dietary supplements, and food restriction programs. Assessment is only discussed briefly. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
