Trade ReviewAs a society, we have a responsibility to protect our children....In Debunking ADHD, Michael Corrigan makes a clear, convincing case that if we want to do that, we need to stop drugging them, and find other ways to help them grow up and thrive. -- Robert Whitaker, journalist, author of Anatomy of an Epidemic, and founder of MadInAmerica.com
Read this book! Debunking ADHD provides a clear-cut and compelling case for meeting needs instead of pushing meds. Thanks to Dr. Corrigan for providing this easy-to-read yet scientifically solid guidebook! If Dr. Corrigan had written this book before the ADHD movement ramped up, schools would look a lot different today. -- Dr. Charles and Jim Fay, co-founders, The Love and Logic Institute, Inc.
