Synopses & Reviews
Medical treatment for ADHD fails far too often-not because of the drugs themselves, but how they are managed. New ADHD Medication Rules deals with the over medication, missed diagnoses, and imbalanced medical treatments used today in the treatment of ADHD. Dr. Parker shows where and how these imbalances occur, provides the data and explanations for why the treatment is incorrect, and then simplifies and explains the proper methods for dealing with ADHD, both for medical practitioner and parents of kids and adults with ADHD. In the only book of its kind, Dr. Charles Parker clearly explains how these uncertainties happen, and how insightful communication with professionals can dramatically improve treatment using available methods assembled from hard data, clinical experience and laboratory research.

Synopsis
Dr Charles Parker - A writer, nationally recognized speaker,
[Deep Recovery,
ADHD Medication Rules, CorePsych Blog], a neuroscientist certified for SPECT brain imaging, and a practicing child and adult psychiatrist with more than 43 years of experience in clinical practice – there are few, if any, in the US with Parker’s uncommon clinical, work and educational experiences. From psychoanalysis to psychopharmacology, Parker brings a unique perspective and passion to the changes that must be made in the current diagnostic and treatment protocols for psychiatric conditions in general, and ADHD most specifically. He knows the territory not only from direct experience with ~ 1000 new clients a year, but from those many years, since ’96 from San Francisco to Boston, from Spanish Harlem to Minot, ND, lecturing to medical colleagues on the science and applications of psychotropic meds for several pharma companies. His cutting edge interest in the dramatic advances in molecular and cellular physiology associated with effective brain function urgently need credible translation into workable, utilitarian packages for professionals and clients at every level of cognitive and emotional imbalance. Parker’s mission is compelling and persuasive: brain science translation into common sense packages for everyday use.Media: Parker developed, produced, and hosted his own local cable TV show in the early 90’s to highlight the challenges of identifying and treating addictive conditions – then poorly understood. He’s provided local TV news interviews for years, been repeatedly interviewed for radio, and his first book,
Deep Recovery [self pub], sold about 7000 books with no formal marketing plan, just speaking, TV and radio interviews. CorePsych Blog has won numerous awards over the years and enjoys 14,000 visitors/mo, 50,000 page views, and up to 600 visits in one day. He regularly presents at national conferences on these matters from ADHD to psychiatric diagnosis, from relationship management, to sales [including Media Buying Firms in NYC and the sales team at Selling Power magazine].
