Review Quotes: "Timely, evidence-based, sensitive, accessible, flexible, and practical, Supporting Caregivers of Children with ADHD is an invaluable resource for working with parents of children with ADHD. Removing parent blame but not parent responsibility, it integrates behavioral and CBT strategies for parents who themselves have elements ADHD, depression, emotion dysregulation, stress reactivity, and executive dysfunction. Highest recommendation!"
-- Stephen P. Hinshaw, PhD, UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco "Chronis-Tuscano, O'Brien, and Danko present a clear, easy-to-follow manual that is a 'must read' for therapists and educators working with parents of children with ADHD. The integration of 'traditional' parent management procedures with emotion regulation strategies for parents is unique, representing a major advancement in the treatment of ADHD. I couldn't recommend this book more!" -- Rex Forehand, PhD, University Distinguished Professor, University of Vermont"Across the decades, experts in ADHD have created an array of effective parent training procedures that demonstrably improve child outcomes. This impressive book guides clinicians in the use of those well-established procedures, but it adds much more: strategies for personalizing treatment to fit the child and family, and a much-needed emphasis on support for the mental health and wellbeing of parents who are on the front lines of intervention. Parents who can manage their own emotions, cognitions, and responses to stress will be better equipped to provide what their children need; the book shows how parents can build those strengths. This innovative blend of venerable parent training procedures, novel personalizing strategies, and empirically guided support for parents makes this remarkable book a genuine tour de force." -- John R.
