Synopsis: Science writer Kelly provides information on the controversial family of disorders for high school and college students, parents, teachers, and other non-specialists. She is not pushing a particular theory or approach, but sets out arguments and claims proffered by proponents of them. Medical information is referenced to researchers and Web sites. A sampling of topics shows the anticonvulsive medication carbamezepine, physician and writer Heinrich Hoffman, industrial and environmental toxins, and teaching children with ADHD. Entry-specific lists for further reading refer to the bibliography. There is little cross-referencing. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
