Now in paperback: A top child psychologist<br />
revisits some of his most challenging former<br />
patients —and examines how Ritalin changed<br />
their lives.<br />
The author of the bestselling Running on Ritalin continues to question the<br />
efficacy of the widely prescribed drug. This provocative book asks:<br />
• Is ADHD legitimate or a social construct to excuse poor parenting or<br />
lack of attention to children? Is it over- or under-diagnosed?<br />
• Why does the United States have virtually all the world’s ADHD?<br />
• At the most personal level, has anxiety over childrens’ feelings about<br />
themselves paradoxically led us to become intolerant of even their<br />
smallest deficiencies?<br />
To bring these questions to life—and to answer them with candor and<br />
compassion—Dr. Diller has reconnected with former patients, now in<br />
their twenties. What he discovers provides insight into the process of<br />
child therapy, and the long-term effects of the most controversial treatment<br />
methods of our time.<br />
“Deserves close scrutiny by parents and healthcare professionals as well<br />
as some serious soul-searching about our collective dependence on<br />
pharmaceuticals.” —Booklist<br />
