this is a good educational book that helps you get a little insight into why some children are more frustrating. They seem to be more emotionally out of control. This book gives a lot of insight on how to help. It really does work.

Interesting perspective. Definitely more pro-meds than most books. Seemed aimed mostly at teens, or at least older pre-teens. Good overview of different types of treatment. Admirably concise and less touchy-feely than other books I've read on the topic. Slightly out-dated.
