ADHD in Adults
Russell A. Barkley
This instructive program integrates information about
ADHD with actual experiences of adults from a range of professions: from a
lawyer to a mother who works in her home. It illustrates the real impact
ADHD has on affected adults. Interviews with adults who suffer from the
disorder, their families, and the clinicians who treat them bring the issues
and problems surrounding adult ADHD to life.
Informing the audience about ADHD in adulthood and how it
differs from the childhood disorder, the program clearly describes symptoms,
behaviors, and associated disorders. The program explores common issues that
confront adults with ADHD, such as the effect of ADHD on the family,
relationships between adults and children who both have ADHD, personal
coping mechanisms, and unexpected positive features of the disorder.
Utilizing a number of explanatory graphics that make the program contents
easily accessible, Barkley rounds out this overview with a description of
his new theory of ADHD which explains, in great detail, why these adults
have difficulty making adjustments in their lives.
Manual
Included with this video program is a 28-page manual that professionals will
keep on hand as a quick reference and resource. It details the primary
characteristics of ADHD in adults, discussing how symptoms vary from ADHD in
children. The causes of ADHD, as well as associated problems are detailed,
and clinical issues of evaluation and treatment are covered. The manual
includes suggested reading lists for professionals and for adults with ADHD,
and information on where readers can learn more about the disorder.

ADHD in the Classroom: Strategies for
Teachers
Russell A. Barkley
When students with ADHD are in the classroom, teachers
are doubly challenged. They have to create an environment that addresses the
needs of the child with ADHD, without diminishing the needs of the other
children. This video is designed specifically to help teachers with their
students with ADHD, thereby providing a better learning environment for the
entire class.
The program features Russell A. Barkley, a noted authority on ADHD, who
describes the disorder and brings the audience into a classroom of students
with ADHD. Viewers will see the problems teachers encounter with children
with ADHD and the solutions that behavior management can provide. The
program features interviews with teachers and other education experts
combined with helpful visual graphics and illustrations.
An effective four-step plan for avoiding potential problems is presented,
and the incorporation of social skills into the curriculum is demonstrated.
The audience sees firsthand how to implement such behavior management
methods as color charts and signs, point system, token economy, and
turtle-control technique.

Understanding the Defiant Child
Russell A. Barkley
Tantrums, resistance to chores, negativity: occasional clashes between
parents and children are not uncommon. But when a child's defiance is
chronic and disruptive of family life, he or she may have Oppositional
Defiant Disorder (ODD). In this clear and accessible resource for clinicians
and school practitioners, parents, students of child behavior, and teachers,
Dr. Barkley illuminates the nature of ODD, its causes, why it should be
dealt with early, and what can be done.
Dr. Barkley provides a vivid picture of what we know about ODD and presents
real-life scenes of family interactions and commentary from parents.Viewers
learn how to distinguish ODD from milder forms of misbehavior, long-term
outcomes for defiant children, the relationship between ODD and ADHD, and
why parent training can help.
Manual
A clearly organized review and amplification of the material covered in the
video, the accompanying manual also provides helpful supplementary
information. Dr. Barkley delineates diagnostic criteria for ODD and
discusses the disorder's prevalence and outcomes, as well as the family
dynamics that foster defiant behavior. The manual concludes with useful
lists of suggested readings and organizations that can serve as referral
sources. VHS, 28 page manual, 1997. DVD, 28 page manual, October

Managing the Defiant Child:A Guide to
Parent Training Russell A. Barkley
Childhood defiance--the most common complaint of parents seeking
professional help for their children--exerts a tremendous amount of
wear-and-tear on families. This information-packed video brings to life
a proven approach to behavior management, and shows clinicians, school
practitioners, parents, students, and teachers how enhanced parenting
skills can dramatically improve the parent-child relationship.
Viewers see vignettes from actual parent training sessions, and hear
group leader Dr. Gwen Edwards discuss concepts of child management;
outline principles of managing defiant behavior; and review progress
with group participants. Informative commentary from Dr. Barkley
provides a clear picture of why interactions with children are a
"two-way street," effective incentive systems for motivating children,
and the crucial role of parent training
Manual
A valuable companion to the video, this handy manual serves as a
mini-reference on parent training principles and methods. Selected
behavior management methods are reviewed in detail, and a list of
resources for further reading is provided.

ADHD and the
Nature of Self-Control
Russell A. Barkley
This far-reaching work from renowned
scientist-practitioner Russell A. Barkley provides a radical shift of
perspective on ADHD, arguing that the disorder is fundamentally a
developmental problem of self-control, and that a deficit in attention is a
secondary, and not universal, characteristic. The volume synthesizes
neuropsychological research and theory on the executive functions,
illuminating how normally functioning individuals are able to bring behavior
under the control of time and orient their actions toward the future.
Meticulously applying this model to an examination of the cognitive and
social impairments manifested by ADHD, Barkley offers compelling new
directions for thinking about and treating this disorder.
The book reviews the diagnostic criteria of ADHD,
identifying the inadequacies of current conceptualizations, and presents a
range of new and testable hypotheses about the nature of the disorder.
Shifting the focus of ADHD theory building away from inattention per se,
Barkley delves into the vital construct of behavioral inhibition. Chapters
draw upon extensive neuropsychological research to show how the ability to
delay one's response to external stimuli permits the development of the
executive functions involved in self-control. Providing a new level of
insight into the day-to-day adaptive functioning problems of affected
children and adults, the book demonstrates how ADHD disrupts the
developmental process by which behavior becomes internalized, resulting in
an inability to regulate and direct behavior toward the future.
