Cries Unheard

Examination of the debate surrounding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Investigates the theory that many health workers fail to make a 'holistic' assessment of a child within a family and social context, leading many children with problematic behaviours to be misdiagnosed as having ADHD. Also analyses other contributing factors such as social and economic changes, parental depression and classroom management issues. Includes contributor notes and references. Published in both paperback and PDF formats.
