Review
Numerous informative trade books exist on ADHD in children that can serve to guide family members in its scientific understanding and management, but this is far from the case for adults with the disorder. The few popular books that do exist on adults with ADHD are sometimes filled with half-truths, clinical yet unscientific “wisdom,” distracting anecdotes, and outright falsehoods about the disorder, including the possibility that it conveys some beneficial gifts to those so afflicted. For these reasons, it is a real pleasure to read Tuckman’s superbly rendered book on ADHD in adults, for it is so well-reasoned, science-based, information-rich, to the point, and finally—useful! Apart from wishing I had written it, I sincerely wish that you will read it.

Review
Tuckman has filled a huge gap in our understanding of adults who suffer from ADHD. He sheds light where there was darkness, he clarifies the science behind adult ADHD, and, most importantly, he brings theory into practice by providing a well-balanced model for helping those with ADHD using a multi-modal approach to treatment: education, medication, coaching, and psychotherapy. Readers will come away with practical tools to improve the lives of those suffering from this condition. This book is a valuable contribution to the literature and will be a treasured resource.

Review
Tuckman has authored a state of the art volume deftly blending science and clinical experience to provide a reasoned, reasonable and eminently useful treatment guide for adult ADHD. He writes from a strong scientific and clinical framework. It is clear in this volume that he has spent countless hours helping adults with ADHD. Current in its scientific foundation and practical in its approach to assessment and treatment, Integrative Treatment for Adult ADHD is an exceptional guide for mental health professionals working with adults with ADHD. It is rare to find volumes directed at mental health professionals that are scientifically accurate yet practical in approach. In his new book, Tuckman has accomplished both.
