Kids in the Syndrome Mix of ADHD, LD, Autism Spectrum, Tourette’s, Anxiety, and More!

The one stop guide for parents, teachers, and other professionals Second edition

Martin L. Kutscher MDWith contributions from Tony Attwood PhD and Robert R. Wolff MD y full for d ate upd M - 5 DS

Apr-14 - 304pp - pb - 9781849059671 - $19.95 - TR- £13.99

The completely updated and expanded new edition of this wellestablished text incorporates DSM-5 changes as well as other new developments. The all-in-one guide covers the whole range of often co-existing neuro-behavioral disorders in children – from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessivecompulsive disorder, and anxiety, to autism spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, Tourette’s, sensory integration problems, and executive dysfunction.

A completely revised chapter on the autism spectrum by Tony Attwood explains not only new understanding in the field, but the new diagnostic criteria, and the anticipated usage of the term ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’. Dr. Kutscher provides accessible information on causes, symptoms, interactions with other conditions, and treatments. He presents effective behavioral strategies for responding to children who display traits of these disorders – whether at home, at school, or in other settings – along with case vignettes and practical tips. Finally, a chapter on the role of medications summarizes current knowledge.

‘Kids in the Syndrome Mix was an instant classic. It will now be a life raft for children’s advocates trying to find their kids a fitting diagnosis that will secure services in accordance with the heavily revised DSM5. That’s great news, but the best news is this - Kutscher knows how to express the challenges of figuring out our wonderfully complex kids with neurobiological disorders, just as he knows how to calm our concerns and help us find realistic solutions to the myriad of issues that shadow our special children. This is a book for everyone interested in any area of child development.’
