Download or read book Running on Ritalin written by Lawrence H. Diller and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book as provocative and newsworthy as Listening to Prozac and Driven to Distraction, a physician speaks out on America's epidemic level of diagnoses for attention deficit disorder, and on the drug that has become almost a symbol of our times: Ritalin. In 1997 alone, nearly five million people in the United States were prescribed Ritalin--most of them young children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. Use of this drug, which is a stimulant related to amphetamine, has increased by 700 percent since 1990. And this phenomenon appears to be uniquely American: 90 percent of the world's Ritalin is used here. Is this a cause for alarm--or simply the case of an effective treatment meeting a newly discovered need? Important medical advance--or drug of abuse, as some critics claim? Lawrence Diller has written the definitive book about this crucial debate--evenhanded, wide-ranging, and intimate in its knowledge of families, schools, and the pressures of our speeded-up society. As a pediatrician and family therapist, he has evaluated hundreds of children, adolescents, and adults for ADD, and he offers crucial information and treatment options for anyone struggling with this problem. Running on Ritalin also throws a spotlight on some of our most fundamental values and goals. What does Ritalin say about the old conundrums of nature vs. nurture, free will vs. responsibility? Is ADD a disability that entitles us to special treatment? If our best is not good enough, can we find motivation and success in a pill? Is there still a place for childhood in the performance-driven America of the late nineties?
Download or read book Raising Drug Free Kids written by Aletha Solter and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a nation where an estimated 25 percent of high-school seniors use illegal substances on a monthly basis, parents are wise to be concerned about setting their children on a drug-free course. While much advice handed out these days focuses on teen behavior and on what to do once drugs have become a problem in the home, Raising Drug-Free Kids takes an innovative approach and focuses instead on preventative measures that can be followed early on in a child's life. Developmental psychologist and parent educator Aletha Solter provides parents with simple, easy-to use tools to build a solid foundation for children to say "no" to drugs. Organized by age group, from preschool through young adulthood, the handy 100 tips will show parents how to help their children to: Feel good about themselves without an artificial high. Cope with stress so they won't turn to drugs to relax. Respect their bodies so they will reject harmful substances. Have close family connections so they won't feel desperate to belong to a group. Take healthy risks (like outdoor adventures) so they won't need to take dangerous ones.

Download or read book Ritalin Is Not The Answer written by David B. Stein and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1999-02-12 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to one-third of all school-aged children in the U.S. are diagnosed with so-called Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). They fall into a diagnostic category that didn't exist twenty years ago. Two million of these children are being coerced by teachers, administrators, and doctors into taking Ritalin, which has side effects ranging from insomnia and irritability to personality change, anorexia, and heart palpitations. Even more alarming is the way the drug interferes with normal height and weight gain. Other areas of great concern are the danger of addiction and an increasingly widespread illegal use of Ritalin as a recreational drug. This crusading book passionately advocates a new alternative to Ritalin -- the Caregivers Skill Program (CSP), a step-by-step plan for both school and home that focuses on behavioral and motivational problems. Based on extensive clinical trials and application, CSP offers concrete, easy-to-apply techniques for understanding and improving children's behavior, school performance, and self-esteem. The book also tells parents how to resist pressure from teachers and doctors to give their kids speed just to shut them up.
