Het boek ADHD bij vrouwen is geschreven door specialisten op het gebied van ADHD en staat onder redactie van Quinn en Nadeau. Dat maakt het tot een onmisbare informatiebron voor iedereen die, al dan niet beroepsmatig, geïnteresseerd is in het gebied van ADHD bij volwassenen. Er komen onderwerpen aan bod die zeer specifiek zijn voor vrouwen en die voorheen nog weinig aandacht hebben gekregen. Zo bepleiten sommige auteurs dat het noodzakelijk is om de diagnostische criteria van de DSM-IV met het oog op sekseverschillen te herzien en gaan anderen in op de grote invloed van hormonen op vrouwen met ADHD. Daarnaast komt onder andere het gebruik van medicijnen tijdens de zwangerschap aan de orde en wordt uitgebreid ingegaan op comorbide aandoeningen die ADHD bij vrouwen vaak maskeren. In dit boek wordt ook een gestructureerde vragenlijst beschreven, de Self Assessment Symptom Inventory voor vrouwen (SASI). Dit instrument stelt therapeuten in staat om belangrijke seksespecifieke aspecten te onderscheiden die van belang zijn voor de diagnose.

This book addresses prominent trends in learning disabilities in a systematic and comprehensive manner. The book's major premise focuses on the early identification and intervention of learning disabilities which can positively impact a child's academic performance by making achievement possible. Critical information is discussed to prevent undetected learning disability which may lead even an older student to struggle with poor grades, low self-esteem, loss of interest in higher education, and reduced employment. The book presents current knowledge based information on forces outside of the school that impact the field of learning disabilities such as, advances in evaluation and testing, diagnostic imaging of the functioning brain, evolving ways of conceptualizing learning disabilities that include multicultural perspectives, challenges to conventional views of intelligence and new federal laws that place performance demands upon schools. Additionally, instructional best practice approaches and new technology is provided that should enhance the academic teaching of students. There is even a chapter on a model inner city program that discusses teaching of students with severe learning difficulties. Finally, there is a chapter on the role that school counsellors play in planning for college and careers in a climate of societal expectation that promotes a college education as an obtainable goal for students with learning disabilities. The book is valuable to general and special education teaches, school psychologists, teacher educators, practicing mental health clinicians, and school and career counsellors. A secondary audience is graduate students in special education and counselling graduate programs who need a comprehensive resource book on current trends and best practices.

This is the first book that covers comprehensively the difficult ethical issues involved in prevention of intellectual disability (learning disability, mental retardation). These issues are discussed both practically and theoretically in the light of four case examples drawn from real life. The cases demonstrate various issues raised by the concept of preventing intellectual disability, including definition, epidemiology, screening, and genetic counselling. Two major approach models (reproductive autonomy and public health) are scrutinised, and the practical issues of prevention are examined closely with respect to three syndromes (Down, Fragile X, and Aspartylugosaminuria). The question 'Why should intellectual disability be prevented?' is examined thoroughly at each stage. As a paediatrician and a philosopher, Dr Louhiala presents the issues in a way that is both user-friendly and philosophically sound.
